So I'm not sure what > you mean. - The quota exists to prevent people we don't know, and who may potentially upload malware or use inkscape.org as their own little 'cloud service' from uploading too much. The space on the server is limited. If we allow some categories to be exempt from the limitation, people will notice. Which is, of course, an encouragement for the 'good' uploads we want to have, but also one for those we do not want. And those files can then pool up in the categories that are, in some way, special, as they are meant not only for looking and admiring, but also for downloading to people's computers. We neither want those categories to be full of files people upload there because they don't have any space left, nor do we want to loose control over the disk space. If we give people we trust more space on request, no problem.
