Heh, beats me. :) I suspect because that's easiest to implement. There have been requests for stricter quotas; and I think I'm in favor of that. What I'm unsure of is whether the current functionality is desirable to someone or other, and we should add a --strict-quotas or something to activate this behavior; I suspect that might be the case (someone _somewhere_ must be relying on the current method). - -- Micah J.
