That I wonder consider as brave. There are cases where things exist which are temporary, user owned but actually being used by non user processes (eg spoolers) The usual approach is just to bin stuff that is a few hours/days/weeks old. I guess it depends what storage costs you. On a PC its what - 10 cents a gigabyte - so there is no real hurry. It's also possible to play games with namespaces and have things like per user private /tmp areas, which some secure systems setups like to do.
