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?
