/tmp/ is the ram-backed version for small files, while /var/tmp/ is the disk-backed version for large files and I also think both should be clean at bootup.
In my personally opinion the reaping period is way too long, especially for /tmp/ as only few people really have an actual uptime that long but it does make somewhat sense for /var/tmp/ as it currently is "persistent".
