I tend to agree that 10G quotas are fairly rare.

But quotas don't affect just one mailbox, they're quota roots that affect
a conglomeration of mailboxes.  So one might say "this domain has 5G of
mail storage for all its users" which *is* totally reasonable.

Note that cyrus quotas don't inheret, only the most speecific root applies
at any time.
