This doesn't sound like a good idea to me, given the prevalence of running Ubuntu on virtual machines with less than 4GB of RAM. I'm thinking specifically of hosting providers like Linode, AWS, DigitalOcean, etc., as well as tools like Vagrant, all of which are extremely popular right now. Using tmpfs on a machine with so little RAM doesn't sound like it will really help performance because the gain in speed accessing /tmp is offset by having to swap to disk.
