Of course I assumed we were compliant with filesystem(4) here ;-)

For what is worth, I can't stand /tmp not being cleaned up on reboot. 
What's the point of having /tmp and /var/tmp if they both behave the 
same? So tmpfs it is on my RHEL boxes too.
But yes, I know the FHS has chosen to not be assertive on this, and 
distros have widely interpreted «it is recommended to clean it on boot» 
as a pass to keep it (and using instead funky workarounds to clean it up 
at varied times). So much for standardization. Anyway, out of this scope :-)
