something on a disk that is far from being full it is just plain dumb to

space, just like free mem is wasted mem.
And_that_  is the true reason for undelete. It won't hurt anybody, and will
help some. And since it is the true goal of a fs to organise data on a drive
it is most obvious that "undelete" (you may call it lazy-delete) is a very
basic fs feature and_not_  an add-on patched onto it.

Have you explored xlators/features/trash in the source tree? Does that fit your requirements? If that does, code clean up in trash translator and exposing undelete (via trash xlator) as a tunable through the gluster volume set interface is not complex.
