I also wonder why it is "/tmp" only. It should be configurable. It is
not good idea Defaults to "/tmp".


Whether it's a good idea or not is OS-dependent and installation-dependent:


An option would be OK, but personally I would change it back to /tmp.
My root filesystem (with /var/tmp) is located on an almost full SSD
while /tmp is a tmpfs with a size of 16G.
