If someone wanted to scratch an itch, it would also be useful to put 
things that are zeroed under a single dedicated directory, so that folks 
who wanted to could mount that on a ram drive. It would also be useful 
to do that for stuff that's only reset on crash (to put it on local 
storage as opposed to a SAN).
