More importantly, you have all the revisions of an object, how do you
account for that?  You could easily create a 500K object (say your limit is
1MB), and then "update" it 100x and have used 50MB :-) But how do you count
this?  And since you can't pack just a section of the database, this is
difficult to do.

Not impossible mind you, just a bit harder than it looks at first glance.
