The feature page is wrong about "The user experience should barely change. This is mostly a low-level change that has little visibility to the user." tmpfs is different in a number of important ways: - it's very limited in space compared to a real disk - it doesn't support O_DIRECT - it doesn't support user extended attrs; and not very old kernels didn't support any xattrs at all, meaning things like SELinux labels don't work All this means it's going to need a bit more testing, since potentially any package that stores a file on /tmp should be tested and may need to be fixed.
