Two great ideas!

And I agree with turning it back on.

We discussed this at the ubuntu developer sumit and the plan is to add
a tool that helps freeing up space. The current draft can be found
under https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyFullDiskHandling. Some initial code
is available in the system-cleanup package/bzr tree.

Cheers,
 Michael

 during the dev cycle. Basically, there are two major use cases that I

 removable disk is getting full.

 What do other people think?

I've been getting these notifications in Gutsy.
