Last time when I added the warning, it was because some data corruption
issue that can be identified by fsx which I didn't got a chance to
investigate further.  I think tmpfs is Ok for some usual work but maybe
not ready for production at that moment.  alc@ and kib@ has made a lot
of changes on it recently so perhaps we need to re-visit the problems,
tmpfs would be a great feature for us.
