Oooh... interesting.  Yes, that does make sense.  I don't
know about you, but we over-supply quota by heaps.  We
have a "balancing task" that watches for servers filling
up and moves users automagically behind the scenes.

We use sync_move, which I'm planning to write into Cyrus
for the future as well - where it uses the replication
engine rather than the evil XFER :)  Much saner, and it
means you can sync everything FIRST and then just
replicate the diff once you actually shut down the
mailbox, so the downtime is much shorter.
