No, it is useless, wasted effort. NOEXEC $TMPDIR (and NOEXEC /tmp) will always break the world. There is no shortage of troublesome release goals that are worth the effort. NOEXEC /tmp is not one of them. E.g. it would be a lot better to, instead, adopt per-user (that can also mean per-daemon/per-service) exclusive $TMPDIR enhanced by per-user mount namespaces that also take care of /tmp, or something to that effect. But those won't be NOEXEC. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
