[arch-general] tmpfs

Good day everyone,

I want to delete the next two lines from my fstab:

none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

however I would like to know the secondary effects of doing such
thing, all the information I could get on the internet is that shm is
for POSIX shared memory support and that almost any program actually
use it, for devpts I couldn't find much information about it.

does anyone knows if it is safe to remove those lines from my fstab?

thank you.
