This also means a big change in user experience as many will be expecting things in /tmp to remain there for a while before being deleted even if the system is restarted or crashes.
The expectations of these 'many' (this really needs to be measured) run counter to the LSB recommendation for /tmp .
"Although data stored in /tmp may be deleted in a site-specific manner, it is recommended that files and directories located in /tmp be deleted whenever the system is booted."
