To be fair to the post [0] mentioned earlier, while the subject line was
provocative, the post itself explicitly acknowledges that tmpfs
for /tmp does make sense in some cases, although you may disagree that
they're as "rare" as it claims :)
"Mounting /tmp to tmpfs may be a good thing in some rare cases, but it's
a bad default. It breaks a lot of things and, which is more important,
brings nothing good."
