I don't mind systemd exploring new concepts (and in fact I like it) but it
is not reasonable to push those new concepts in a state which is known to
break existing software. The tmpfs change has only been implemented
halfway.
+1, /tmp on tmpfs is a totally broken feature and should never have been
approved. It needs to be reverted ASAP (IMHO, even in an F18 update).
