Again I understand that it is dynamic. You should however also consider
how many people actually are going to run your software that needs that
20-30 GB (and are not aware of it upfront)

There already is a page that handles this and where the basics for the
current idea is posted, although there it also talked about not
partitioning smaller drives.

I just now think that more then 10GB might be overkill. :-)

Also see the discussion that started all this that began in august last

That is the first posting about it. It goes on in september.
