If there aren't any fixed pitch instruments involved, then everyone needs to tune relative to the temperature as there's no point in tuning to 440Hz regardless if it's too cold or too hot for that pitch to be attainable. That way no-one has to pull out all their slides or joints to the point of them falling out just to stick to a convention that's not practical.

IRCAM published a chart with temperature related tunings and 440Hz - I hope you can see this (should the attachment not work):
