Default /tmp & /var/tmp

/tmp is being emptied every time (on shutdown, or boot, idk), /var/tmp not....
however, i i don't really care of /var/tmp/* files....
So i'm wondering if it's bad idea to remove /tmp and symbolically link it to /var/tmp?

/tmp is separate slice (by default 512MB)
/var is 3GB, which is also way to much for me, but that's other story


Is there any reason, i should keep /tmp separate?
