You'll have those who want to set it up, run and forget about it unless something breaks. They don't want to have the node automatically grow on them, nor should it. Then you'll have those who will monitor, measure and mess with their running nodes. If they're serious about keeping all data, they'll watch the data store size and up the allowed amount when it's close to full. Why would they need an autogrow option that would apparently be time consuming to implement? Having just upped my node, I understand where you're coming from, but changing the datasize has been made so much easier through the nG convention[1]. Is losing your node uptime really that painful, heh?
[1] One of the better user concessions I've seen recently. I really don't want to fiddle with bits and bytes just to set a node size. I wish the bandwith constraints were as easy to set. Or worked properly, but that's just my lazy refusal to do it Properly in the OS that's speaking. -- Aaron Kurtz - GnuPG Key ID ED588CF2 Ignore false slogans.
