Countless linux systems are configured to not preserve it between |
| 20 |
reboots, FHS notwithstanding. That said, whether you preserve it |
| 21 |
would probably make the difference between whether sticking ccache in |
| 22 |
there is a good idea or not. |

Personally I don't preserve it, because lots of stuff that has no need |
| 25 |
to persist ends up in /var/tmp. I put stuff that should stick around |
| 26 |
someplace else with a suitably liberal tmpreaper policy. |
