Two comments:
- I don't think the last two sentences are particularly helpful in the
  RN, so I'd drop them
- I'm confused by the bit about TMPDIR, since we don't say anything
  about setting that variable anywhere, so even if an app obeys TMPDIR
  if it's set, it'll still fill up /tmp by default.

Cheers,
Julien
