Yes maybe (I'm no security expert) ... but do you mean Blender should
not adopt this workaround on unix-like system? This is what both the
proposal and the debian package suggest on this platform (I haven't any
suggestions about OSX and Windows).
As I read your previous emails, you are not in favor with temporary
files located in $HOME directory because of networked user directory
setups. I think those setups are usually managed by some sysadmin ( or
crasy geek user :D ) and therefore Blender should be deployed and
configured by them with environment variables or system-wide config files.
