Right. That can easily be done in the pre-start stanza of the upstart job. But
I don't agree with Antoine and Bryan that we should, in fact, do this. If it's
important to retain core files, then let's keep them in /tmp. If the beta
cluster app servers don't have enough space in /tmp, then that's the actual
bug, and we should fix it by making sure they do.

Gratuitous and unprincipled divergence from production compromises both the
beta cluster and production: the beta cluster because its fidelity to
production is its very value and purpose, and production because the Puppet
change needed to make the divergence possible means adding a useless knob to
the manifests. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but I don't think this is one of
those times.
