	Well, this is not as simple as it appears. What with multi GB
 drives getting cheaper by the day, most people have multiple
 partitions, so one has to make sure that there is anough space in
 each partition (my /usr/lib partition is the most used, at the
 moment).

	There is a technical solution which has each package also
 include a du -S listing, and a script that gathers the data and keeps
 track of space re4quired during pgrades and all, but the process is
 slow, and then we lost the policy editor, and the whole effort has
 stalled. 

	Now that we are finally moving on policy modification
 processes, this may be revived soon.
