If an user forget a file in /var/tmp, probably he does not need it.  :)
</BOFH>

Even if it's vi.recover.  My lab usually has lots of very old recover
files just because users don't even know that vi has a -r feature.

IF the user knows vi's -r option, and IF he really needs the file,
he'll recover it ASAP.  Most of the times I ever needed -r is because of
an unexpected reboot.  Most of these because I did the reboot myself,
sometimes intentionally, sometimes not.  :^)
