We recently moved MicroOS and Kubic to use tmpfs for /tmp instead of writing files there to disk.

All of these reasons also apply for regular openSUSE, so I would like to propose that Tumbleweed moves to tmpfs for /tmp soon also. [...] Does anyone have any objections, concerns, thoughts?
No objection to the general change but I would suggest two exceptions: 1. Systems where user created a specific mount point for /tmp (whether tmpfs or normal filesystem). According to the previous discussion, this should be taken care of already. 2. Systems with less memory than a certain threshold. I'm not sure what the threshold should be but I would be afraid to configure /tmp on tmpfs by default on systems with 4GB of RAM. 8GB might be OK, I have such configuration on my laptop with 8GB myself and didn't encounter any problems (but it took me quite some time to summon the courage).
