Different people have different size drives and expectations which is
why this should be a setting. It isn't very important so it's fine to
keep it at 5% for now, but don't pretend like it is a magically great
solution.

"Sane defaults, not maximal configurability" only works when you have a
sane default, in this case, we don't.

Yeah, but this isn't really working even then; it's not that "fullness" is a per user interpretation, it's actually a per volume interpretation.
That means while 5% on one drive may be plenty, on another drive, even 10% can be critical.

IMO having a default, even if imperfect, is just fine here -- not everyone will agree with the outcome, but I really doubt it's worth a per drive setting.

Bye,
