I kind of dislike the idea to talk about naiveness here.

Being able to give guarantees (in this case: reserve space) can be vital for running critical business applications. Think about the analogy in memory management (proper swap space reservation vs. the oom-killer).

But I realize that talking about an "implicit expectation" to give some motivation for reservations probably lead to some misunderstanding.

Sorry, Nils
