/var/tmp was there for a reason. On all my systems /tmp is tmpfs, and

Doesn't fit in the definition nicely. It's more like read-only dir,
fitting /usr well.

stupid idea instead of the current state.

This one depends on a particular config, I guess. Sometimes people just
'cache' binpkgs, sometimes they serve 'em.
