In addition, at shutdown time everything in /tmp is fair game for deletion. As one of the last things done on all my machines I clean out /tmp. In my case the reason isn't space, but clutter. With the default /tmp cleaning, things build up to such a level that downloaded files that I only want to look at once are hard to find (such as pdf files etc).
