In fact the opposite is indicated. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/tmp-on-tmpfs The cited blog indicates periodic clean up based on aging, and cites the FHS as saying files in /tmp aren't expected to be needed persistently between two runs of the application. http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/tmp.html I don't know when the aged based cleaning started, but it isn't expressly stated in the original feature and I'm not finding a followup feature that indicates this change. On the other hand, it sounds like most of the time applications shouldn't use (or depend on) /tmp anyway since they can't depend on any sort of persistence.
