Actually, I think the real problem, or one of them, was the rather arbitrary decision to limit file sizes to 1% or whatever it is of the size of the datastore. Previously we had a mechanism which avoided large files dominating the datastore and didn't require an arbitrary limit - but unfortunately it was quietly replaced with the current rather crude mechanism the 1,346th time the datastore was reimplemented. I really don't like arbitrary thresholds when they can be avoided.
