This was actually proposed previously.

It's still a tempting option to add.
Given the simplicity, and usefulness +1 from me.
"Liulk" reminded me off-list about this topic.
This was the conversation:

Hi Bernhard,
I noticed that at least two people have independently contributed their
implementation of the --min-size option to du in
the past.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2011-10/msg00046.html
And I was on my way to become the third one, except I realized none of their
contributions made in to coreutils.
Is there a reason for rejecting their patches, or do you have plans to
incorporate them at some point?

Hi Liulk,
thanks for the heads-up - I think we lost focus on this.
The last reply on this was from Padraig:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2012-01/msg00032.html
I'm working on a complete patch incl. tests and docs now
and will post it on the mailing list soon.
Have a nice day,
Berny
I was pretty sure that this slipped also from Padraig's list.
Sorry for the delay in this.
Note it's still on the list:

Therefore, I took Jakob's patch and amended it with documentation
and a comprehensive test. ;-)
Wow great work on the test.
I wonder would it make sense to have consistent --size
handling for du and truncate. I.E. have --size='<10M'
specify the max size and --size='>10M' specify the min size?
thanks!
Pádraig.
