Because it's an extraordinarily bad idea, as reinforced up by our on-staff
DBAs, and as the wiki is looked upon as official documentation, it's
something we felt we couldn't allow to be there.

This is something that is just a really, really awful idea.  Buy a small
SSD-- do not run MySQL in tmpfs.

If you want to tell people to do so, it will need to be on a blog, web
page, etc. that can't be misconstrued as an official endorsement.
