   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.
