I've just enabled it. New installs will get it by default.
Basically, if you have less than 512Mb RAM, size is capped to 10%
(size=10%), otherwise is capped to 100Mb.

Let's see how many exotic apps will break.

    [storage] implement /tmp over tmpfs, with noexec,nosuid,nodev and
variable size.

    Many unix oses do it since 1994, Fedora started doing it since 18.
    /tmp is typically world-writable, which is bad for many reasons.
    Forcing noexec,nosuid,nodev by default increases security by mitigating
    the damage of possible race-condition based attacks.
