It's not so much the disk space, but the feeling that we shouldn't
bother to build backends that the user doesn't even have. And as much
as we think it true, disk space isn't infinite.

That's what I currently do now, but I was wondering if others felt the
same way and if I should bother to make a patch for this behavior.
