If you google tempfs versus  ramdisk it will tell you all  about the difference, in short both use the internal memory to hold the data  ( this is what we want to reduce wear ) and since the Shield has already a tempfs set-up it makes sense to use that. When web filter is unziped the data is temporary held there, as the initial ramdisk is fixed in size, once it full the script may fail or not continue to unzip the web filters, where as tempfs is already large and if it fills up will be allocated additional storage.

As the Shield is for tech and non tech people I believe that using tempfs will avoid issues in the future.
