At least we must not change (shrink!) to tmpfs in the update case to not 
break working systems.
And whether tmpfs on fresh is installed systems is a good default is IMO 
also very questionable. The only "advantage" is I see is that cleaning 
it on re-boot would be faster if you have a few 1000 files in /tmp 
which is also a "corner case".
