Shrug. This change will look silly when the starting quota is 10G in
n years. As it is I'd already feel pretty uncomfortable when I've
filled nearly 3G of space and have just 100M left, and would rather be
warned sooner. But I don't care enough about this to pursue it farther.

PS - It's not in the release-team minutes, so there's no way I would
have known you'd discussed it.
