In Ubuntu, we clear /tmp on every boot.
As such, on servers, by default /tmp should actually be a tmpfs entirely
in RAM.
This has several advantages, mainly:
* Performance - much faster read/write access to data in /tmp
* Security - sensitive data would be cleared from memory on boot, rather than
written (leaked) to disk -- important for encryption scenarios
** Affects: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu)
Importance: High
