LAcking a standard, common Unix wisdom. And the fact that sockets of
user servers are always created there. /tmp should be local for
performance reesons; if you want to nfs mount it, you better make sure
that clients get their own space so that you don't run into PID
conflicts.

That would indeed be the better solution but lacking any widespread
adoption.
