I also wonder why it is "/tmp" only. It should be configurable. It is
not good idea Defaults to "/tmp".

Whether it's a good idea or not is OS-dependent and installation-dependent:

        $ df /tmp /var/tmp
        Filesystem    512-blocks      Used  Available Capacity iused      ifree %iused  Mounted on
        /dev/disk1    1951825920 653287984 1298025936    34% 8155689 4286811590    0%   /
        /dev/disk1    1951825920 653287984 1298025936    34% 8155689 4286811590    0%   /

and that's the *only* (real) file system on my machine (unless I plug in a USB drive or mount from a server).
