People already have to learn a new name.  They may as well learn the
name of one that has sensible defaults.

I'm in favour of the current behaviour but I _still_ think you should
commit my patches that add a "mount /tmp in mfs" option to rc.conf.

Yes, it's not generic, but there are _many_ very specific options in
there and this is a _very_ common wishlist item for newly installed
servers.

So much so that most folks would probably ask for a sysinstall knob for
the option once its available in rc.conf.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
