Considering the comment, they probably think it's insane to put /tmp in RAM, and since web browsers are often used to download huge files and /tmp is the default non-hardcoded dir, they're trying to avoid users complaining about failed downloads. Note that this is one of the cases the opponents of the tmp-in-tmpfs change predicted. No surprise that they want to avoid bug reports due to unexpected (to the user) behavior, and in fact, this is what the tmp-in-tmpfs proponents suggested (using /var/tmp) for such cases anyway. For reference, see the very long debate about tmp-in-tmpfs. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
