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.
That's not viable. What about the unknown (at this time) programs? There are closed source programs, too. Or old software. Users would have to back the oS version. Any big change done to Linux will break things beyond your/our control. Please don't.
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..
Then this setting should be made at installation time, in Yast. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
