Here's another idea Stuart:- The special directory /tmp/vi.recover/ is exempt from boot & daily purging. Could a similar /tmp/sysupgrade/ default directory suit most situations? /tmp/ is normally mounted separately from / /home/ /var/ And probably not encrypted, nor over NFS.
Stop trying to discuss what the default should be, this has been discussed long enough before sysupgrade was in base. The default in /home/_sysupgrade is perfectly fine.
Just like sthen, I also have /tmp on MFS on multiple servers.
