Does anyone know of another mechanism for this?

Just out of curiosity, why don't you want files to be removed from /tmp?

When someone on this list asks for help in modifying a behavior to suit their
needs/desires why are they often asked to justify their requests?  In this case, and

I've been on the receiving end, so I've felt your pain.
Often it's just a rude "Don't do that.".

In this case, curiosity might have been inspired by your
desire to defeat a purpose for which something exists.
I'd have been inclined to include the inspiration along with the question.

Sometimes the right answer is
you can do that if you really want, but it's dangerous and it's a lot of
work with hard to explain details that depend on what you want it for.

Once upon a time, someone asked how to remove all traces of gnome.

Sometimes it's just a matter of religion.
Ask a question about using labels instead of UUIDs.

in may others, I can't see that seeking/offering justification will help in finding a
solution.

In this case, it might be helpful with a work around.

If you disapprove of cleaning, you might consider creating
a /clutter with the same permissions as /tmp .
