True, but there was pushback by Fedora developers when this became the default so Lennart patched systemd for a "/tmp" mount in "/etc/fstab" to override "/lib/systemd/system/tmp.mount". A pseudo-policy (pseudo since it wasn't, AFAIK, an official policy) was instituted whereby applications that were creating large files in "/tmp" should be patched to use "/var/tmp".
