No. What the author means is that lots of different applications and use cases can break badly with /tmp on tmpfs - see the '"/tmp on tmpfs is bad" quotes' section of the post: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/06/msg00311.html (BTW, I really think that you should avoid snipping the link to the post that we're discussing from your replies.) -- Celejar
