Chris, the problem is that now you have to add a /tmp filesystem, before /tmp was just a normal directory in root. It means that for fedora 18 upward but not for any other you now have to remember to go and change this default, because honestly /tmp in RAM for a virtual machine is just stupid if you end up using the swap file (btw I disable the swap on my machine often exactly to avoid having the machine trashing and using swap, when I really do not need it to). It may be a good idea for beefy single user laptops but for anything else it is probably more a regression than help as moving stuff from a normal file system to swap is just going to add memory pressure to the kernel and nothing else.
