i would suggest another point of view - what should use tmp? Users, Admins speak humans or scripts, apps speak machines?
It's for whatever you like to use it for that you don't mind losing. I sometimes put packages there that I am going to install, sometimes script temporary files, sometimes data files I want to look at, eg chunks of log files. Some packages (eg Apache Tomcat) seem to use it too. I've used it for script generated scripts too.
