Please correct me if I'm wrong:
About 2 years ago I started reading up about Linux when I was first
decided whether to try it, and which distro to use. I took about a
year before I finally installed Debian last May.
During that time I remember reading that some programs that write to
CDs or DVDs were caching data in /tmp before burning. It seems like
using tmpfs for /tmp under that kind of scenario would be a real
problem. My old box would probably roll over and die, and my newer
one probably would if a DVD image was being built in /tmp.
That info is, admittedly, out of date... but I would want to take a
serious look into such things before putting /tmp on a tmpfs!
