For what it's worth, this is still FUBAR. I definitely see a bug here. I
recently moved from Xubuntu -> Fedora XFCE -> "Plain" Fedora and this is
when this all started happening. Both the Xfce respin and the "plain"
setup were FC20. I've attempted to disable anything that might be eating
things from /tmp and change all the configs I can find. The max lifetime
of a file in /tmp if 60m. After teh 60m mark, it's gone. To be honest,
the length of time that tmpwatch has been doing Bad Things (yes, I think
force cleaning /tmp is Bad) is of little concern to me. The fact that
there appears to be no way to make it stop, is a bug. When did this become
tangled in the pile of spaghetti that is systemd?

I'm replying to "I don't know when the aged based cleaning started",
as
clearly quoted above.
