After considering the robust discussion, I would like to propose that
we move forward with this change via Cloud-init with some sane
defaults (i.e. it is _NOT_ running in a container and memory is
greater than 2GB of RAM).

Given that Xenial is in Alpha, now is the time to make this change.
The reality is that without actually making the change we can't and
won't be able to fully scope the impact.

So with that, I think that having Cloud-init configure /tmp as tmpfs,
while giving the user the ability to change it, is a sane path
forward. In the event that we have serious or unintended consequences,
we can revert pre-release or even via an SRU if necessary.
