Yes, but if you did that, you took care of lots of non-static things
on /usr besides /usr/tmp. The same technic should be used on /usr/tmp.
For instance, the following commands on a BSD system work quite nicely
(single-user, with /usr mounted):

	# rm -rf /usr/tmp
	# ln -s /tmp /usr/tmp

I'd be interested in what you did for V the system, if that's what
you're running.
