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.
Notorious acroread and flashplayer are such "known" programs, too. IIRC, flashplayer may store a temporary FLV file in /tmp, which can be unlimitedly big.
Do they hardcode /tmp or use TMPDIR ? That would be interesting to know.
Honestly, someone needs to test carefully (e.g. on a machine with small RAM) before moving toward this direction as default. Only facts and proofs can shut up bike-shed talks.
