Opinions are not of interest here. You're welcome to argue why this behavior should not be considered as a bug. I'd consider it even as a security-critical one. The cache file may contain sensitive data. The user doesn't necessarily assume that programs put sensitive data into her ~/tmp. When she shares the content of ~/tmp with others, assuming it contains only files she has placed there before, this will lead to information disclosure. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
