Along similar lines, it might be nice to have a mode where git-annex tries to fill up a disk up to the `annex.diskreserve` with files, preferring files that have relatively few copies. Then as storage prices continue to fall, new large drives could just be plopped in and git-annex used to fill it up in a way that improves the overall redundancy without needing to manually pick and choose.
