Yes, but I was thinking of a multi-user install (that being, after all, what I 
administer for a living). I like the ability to keep ~fred and ~joe from 
locking each other out of /tmp (yes, there are ways to do that with tmpfs, but 
I have to think about them, unlike quotaing a "normal" filesystem). Then again, 
with virtualization the days of multiple-interactive-user installations may be 
coming to an end. 

Cheers,
Weldon
