I'm bewildered that all Unix distributions don't already do this. Solaris and predecessor SunOS have always had /tmp in tmpfs and all the newer Linux systems I take care of have been configured to use tmpfs. Before doing this you migth take a look to see if Fedora might have broken the /tmp cleaner script that I'm fairly certain had already been there. It may have regressed when the all those init replacement trains like upstart and friends came and went leaving busted init scripts in their wake.
