That's not this kind of distinction we are talking about, it was network 
mounted partitions vs. local ones.

In the case of local filesystem, again, you can have a size-limited trashcan 
as a general solution, and I don't think people want to ask themselves "gee, 
will I need it later or not, and how much disk space do I have left ?" 
either.
