pff and this is a generic worklaod for MAJORITY of the user-base?
no? hmm wait a minute...

if it is not why should DEFAULTS are changed and a unknown amount
of packages broken/fixed/patched to no longer touch /tmp and
blow all temorary stuff to /var/tmp

the MINORITY can add the line in /etc/fstab since ten years and be
happy as all the time before - the rest does not need it or is even
hurted by the change

what currently happens is that based on a exotic workload majority
of users and packagers are forced to act in a way few people
thought "may be nice"
