See my other message where I explain why a separate FS for /tmp makes sense. It's got nothing to do with hard links and quotas.

No, you misunderstand what I meant. Again, you've snipped relevant context. Maybe this is because you don't actually read all of what people are saying to you? Slow down and read every word. You may think you're saving time, but you end up taking 5 times longer because people have to repeat what they say a few times before it finally penetrates.
I meant that you should know better than to propose a change that conveys no real benefit (Al and I have explained, several times(!) why) and that would adversely impact other users. You're proposing something for your (perceived) convenience, at the expense of others.
You should know better that that's selfish. It's not a nice thing to do.
If you ever do/propose something that can adversely affect others, think *very hard* if you really need to do what you want to do.
