If they need more than a tmp file handle with a clear contract; i.e. something like pseudo temporarly storage with semantics specific to their application; then they'd better create an *application* level config or policy for that; with clearly documented requirements (such as max size, livetime, mostly read or mostly write permissions, cleanup (or not) on exit of the application or reboot, etc).
