Isn't another rationale that filesystems usually work best when not full=20 to the brim (modern ones at least; an old clunky System V filesystems=20 doesn't really care whether it's half empty or half full :-) )? Users=20 should not fill up the filesystem to the point where the in-core=20 optimization code isn't able to optimize anything anymore because it ran=20 out of headroom.
