You gave two reasons for not linking /tmp to /usr/tmp. The first
I don't think is valid anymore. I believe /tmp is no longer automatically
removed at each reboot. I don't remember which release it was that
SGI stopped removing /tmp.
The second reason is the first "real" reason I have heard yet.
If you don't mound /usr, and therefor /usr/tmp a.k.a. /tmp, you won't
be able to use vi or ex. This, to me, however doesn't sound that bad.
