I think that this would probably warrant an elog. Sure, anybody who |
| 8 |
knows the "correct" way to admin unix doesn't put anything important in |
| 9 |
/tmp - but educating our users before blowing away their data isn't a |
| 10 |
bad thing. We shouldn't assume our users are idiots, but this is an |
| 11 |
obscure enough piece of admin knowledge that I think that users will be |
| 12 |
impacted by the change. |

Doesn't impact me one way or another - in my case both /tmp and /var/tmp |
| 15 |
are tmpfs filesystems. However, I do have a few longer-duration "temp" |
| 16 |
folders on my system that get cleaned by tmpreaper but is used for stuff |
| 17 |
that is nice to keep around a little longer. |
