You made your point, and imo this is a GREAT idea! =) 
I think with such a feature, transparent trash which deletes the 
oldest deleted file when more space is needed, we don't even need to  
differ between "delete" and "move to trash" anymore nor do we need to 
ask for confirmation on delete (since you can undo it in any case =).  
Let's realize that. =) 
 
Cheers, Datschge 
 
PS: Since this would be quite a low level system feature: Has been such a
feature 
discussed before by file system developers?
