Do you consider distros that rm -rf /tmp on startup to be broken? If not, why not?

- rwmj 14y agoFirstly Fedora (<= 17) doesn't do this. It has a tmpwatch cronjob which deletes files after 10 days (/tmp) and 30 days (/var/tmp). Secondly, no I don't think it's broken. But it doesn't in any way affect the fact that as a last resort I can reboot in single user mode and grab the precious mutt file before it gets deleted.
