If that's the case, then what's the advantage in doing it? I've always been
curious about this because AFAICT that's not different to choosing a larger
size for the partition you would have otherwise had /tmp on, and decreasing
your swap partition by the same amount.

I guess one can be more easily reconfigured than the other, but is there
another advantage?
