The thing is, in a mature network I would suppose that most nodes will stay pretty full. We only delete files when other ones overfill the store. So in practice there won't be much variance in probability and this won't have much effect. It is true that this proposal might cause new nodes to fill up sooner, but it remains to be seen whether slow filling of new nodes is a problem. At this point it looks to me like a solution which we don't need.
