Comment:

 Reading through #30284 it appears that the original intention was to
 remove all the .trac-ticket-cache.* but apparently it got omitted.

 Indeed we should use wp_tempnam() instead of hardcoding /tmp/ paths and
 failing gracefully, seems a sensible idea.

 Also, what do you mean by "permitting some write directories to be
 configurable with a constant or environment variable", I'm not sure I
 understand what this means. Do you have a specific case in mind for this?
