This appears to be the root of your argument. As an app developer (I'm actually
Trojita's maintainer), I would be very happy to rely on that, but I'm not sure
that we're already there today. Is that something that the rest of KDE
effectively already relies upon? If so, then the matter is settled.

I see that systemd ships with a default of 10 days lifetime for stuff under
/tmp; this appears to be preserved on RHEL7 as well. That's good. However,
Gentoo decided to patch this away [1] in fall 2015 and as such, they do not
clean /tmp at all.
