I actually think it is a very good idea. I seriously doubt the amount of "memory" it wastes by having directories is actually important to anyone. While it isn't particularly necessary on machines with small numbers of users if you have every logged into a big Sun Ray machine you would have an idea of just how cluttered /tmp can get with hundreds of users all using the same /tmp. The way to take this forward is for the original requester to write up the ARC case and I as sponsor will get the ARC case submitted. -- Darren J Moffat
