In low memory devices, with /tmp as tmpfs, think 1G, brasero, k3b and a few other programs, in their default configuration, would thrash. Those are blatantly wrong cases. But there are numerous gray cases. Python's tempfile module creates, by default, files in /tmp. I would bet tons of python apps, thus, misuse /tmp.
We should fix those "known" programs to use /var/tmp instead of /tmp anyway.
And this is assuming users can override this decision and use a regular filesystem as /tmp.
As I wrote in my initial email (but few people read it completely
apparently), it is possible..
