Let's fix firefox so it uses /var/tmp instead of /tmp.
The problem is not Firefox using too much space in /tmp (well, it might be, too) but Firefox needing a lot of memory - which it will have to compete for with /tmp.
Ok, I misunderstood you.
Did they think about this change thoroughly?
I'm not going to do the messenger back and forth with systemd authors. Feel free to raise those topics with them directly.
You are the person who plans to push these changes into OpenSuSE, not them, that's why Jiri is addressing you.
Yes, but acting as a proxy between "communities" so such discussions is usually not efficient at all (this is usually why I ask people to report non-openSUSE bug reports upstream directly).
For some reason you seem to believe that OpenSuSE has to unconditionally copy every design decision made by systemd developers and/or Fedora. But this is not true. Many packages in the distribution have defaults different from upstream projects to make the distribution more usable for its users.
We also tend to think about openSUSE only and sometime not follow what
our friends in various distributions are doing, just because some things
were done in a certain way for specific reason in the past and they
shouldn't change ever.
/tmp as tmpfs is not a "Fedora" only thing. Debian has already switched
to it (with its own set of controversy), Arch too. Fedora is planning
to. So, it is a good time to think about it. If we feel we shouldn't do
the switch, then, we won't do it. But we shouldn't just drop the case
without proper investigation.
