This is a mistake.

The default should be clear_tmp_enable="YES"
if only to uncover those broken configurations that expect /tmp to be
persistent.

I was going to say "At least on -CURRENT" but in reality it should be the
default on -RELEASE too when it's clearly a bug to expect /tmp to be
persistent.
