Why do you perceive it to be a terrible default?  /tmp is just temporary
debris.  In many Unix systems, reboot tasks remove everything from /tmp
because by definition it is a strictly temporary area.  /var is for
files that continually change, like logs.  Then there are other file
systems for permanent files.  The ADSM/TSM default is quite realistic.
And, of course, you can code a Domain statement to back up whatever
you want.  Defaults are defaults, not insurmountable.
