Yes; that would mean that only world-writable directories (which strike me as a really bad idea) would be `problematic'.

(And for those of us giving each user their own /tmp, well, we can turn the sticky bit off and fix up the permissions so that only that user can write to it :) )

If the rule is "any directory the user *owns*" then world-writable directories wouldn't be a big problem.
