That's /tmp. Unlike /var/run and /run I don't think it is reasonable to
put this on a very space constrained filesystem (whether or not it is a
ramdisk), application expect to put reasonably large things there.

So if the plan is to move /tmp to a tmpfs then it will need to be more
reasonably sized for that usecase.
