According to TMPFS(5)
"BUGS
     The tmpfs kernel implementation is currently considered as an experimen-
     tal feature.  Some file system mount time options are not well supported."

Perhaps there is a reason to not push "experimental" things on users ?
Btw, I hope Quotas is supported by tmpfs.

I do not know about you, but I feel differently about /tmp even as part of "/"
fs beeing bombed by mega-size files, and /tmp as /tmpfs (main memory plus swap)
getting full or even reaching some preset value and having some priority job or
its data or caches being swapped.
