Nobody will hinder you doing this.  However, providing this as the
default would violate the policy as described in hier(7) (in that it
requires /usr to be writable).

I'm using a 150 MB /tmp file system, but wouldn't assume this becoming
the default behaviour either, even though i think it proved very
useful for me. :-)
