And for vendors of those products that use and UNcertain amount of
storage, tell us how to estimate it!  Far too many products just say
"Run with REGION=0M" - far more than those that change the limits.
I don't expect those vendors to know how much storage their 
products need in my environment, but I expect them to be able to 
tell me how to figure it out based on some set of metrics.

I'm not willing to trust any product - even ones that have been 
well behaved for years - to not go on a storage-allocation binge.
I'll quadruple a reasonable storage estimate, but I won't say "no
limit".
