Actually, asking for more than 5M triggers a "I can haz mor?" dialog as well. The limit is equally soft. At least IME. But I don't get the philosophy disconnect. If the user is going to object to 5M of user data in a database, he certainly isn't going to be happy with giant files all over the place. I certainly wouldn't be happy about it. Disk bytes is disk bytes.
