While this is a good practice in general (in fact, putting the developers on
their own *machine* is even better), all transient space is contained in the
MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET; in this case the problem of giant temp files
exhausting system volume space would remain regardless of whatever user
volumes might be used.
