Apparently, 12.1 has added /var/tmp/ to TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR in /etc/sysconfig/cron. I was quite surprised when I found out today that I've lost a few GB of data, which used to be safe there.

That tells systemd to clear files older than 10 resp 30 days in those directories. systemd does not honor TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR.
Wait a minute. I just checked on my system upgraded from 11.4 and on my system /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf also contains these entries. In /etc/sysconfig/cron I have forbidden cleans of /tmp (set to 0 days) and /var/tmp (long tmp is unset). Does the above mean that although I have no .rpmsave or .rpmnew files and no entry in the release notes, the contents of both diretories will be "cleaned up" despite my explicit command to leave them alone? If so, I think an urgent warning need to be issued and the bug should be fixed as quickly as possible.
