Hi, Although it is true that projects and users don't consume a lot of resources, I think that there may be cases where setting quotas (possibly large) may be useful.
For instance, a cloud provider may wish to prevent domain administrators to mistakingly create an infinite number of users and/or projects, by calling APIs in a bugging loop. Moreover, if quotas can be disabled, I don't see any reason not to allow cloud operators to set quotas on users and/or projects if they wishes to do so for whatever marketing reason (e.g. charging more to allow more users or projects).

It strikes me as a rather shallow business decision to limit the number of users or projects in a system, as neither are actually cost-consuming resources.

I believe this could be interesting for cloud providers who delegate administrative rights under domains to their customers. I'd like to hear the community's thoughts on this, especially in terms of viability.
