>From changelog of 5.0.22-4:
Moved tempdir from /tmp to /var/tmp as it will more likely have enough
free space as /tmp is often on the root partition and /var or at least
/var/tmp is on a bigger one.  

Filesystem Hierarchy Standard V 2.3 says:
/var/tmp : Temporary files preserved between system reboots                 
    
Thus:
Or tempdir is needed *between system reboots* or must be left in /tmp

You shouldn't speculate on what a system administrator has done.
On my system i have more free space on /tmp than /var/tmp for example.

Maybe add a note in README file about space needed in /tmp
