I really hate this hack. It feels like an attempt by distro maintainers to make their distro feel and/or benchmark quicker than others. I don't know if that's the original reason it was done, but I do know that it's a big pain to work around for a program author. If I'm writing to /tmp, I expect that the file might be swapped to disk, and indeed that it will be paged to disk before the OOM killer comes for me. If what I wanted was named shared memory, I'd put it in /dev/shm.
