   I guess you like logs and files in /tmp filling up your filesystem.  
What about what the *application* is "most comfortable" with?  
Operating systems aren't about administrator comfort...they're about 
controlling access to a computer's resources.

   "Tired" or not, "1990s" or not, there are real reasons to segregate 
stuff into different filesystems.  The fact that some people have 
become so lazy and apathetic as to ignore such matters does not change 
the facts.

   And the idea that such apathy is happening in the NetBSD community, 
frankly makes me sick to my stomach.  I've been running NetBSD 
constantly since v0.9 was current and I've NEVER seen this much blatant 
disregard for good engineering practice in this community.

   Kids these days, indeed.
