Setting size is not redundant, as without it, tmpfs allows to allocate
1GB by default. Though tmpfs is a dynamic filesystem that only uses
memory that is in use on tmpfs, I don't think it makes sense to allow
more than 10MB here. Other distributions limit the size of tmpfs also.

CC'ing this to the arch-dev-public list, as our bugtracker is down.
