We've received some PRs to replace the tempdir crate with tempfile as the former is unmaintained.
However, we cannot simply replace it due to our MSRV. Precisely speaking, it doesn't break but it needs some CI tweaks and we concluded that it wasn't worth doing so. This FIXME clarifies it.

tempdir also pulls in the remove_dir_all crate, that has a security vulnerability: https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2023-0018.html

Since this is a test-only vulnerability I guess it's not very critical, but should maybe be mentioned?

I don't think it's worth doing so as it isn't vulnerable to us in general.
