That's a user-space problem. A new user typically won't have a writable area within /home until the sysadmin has created the new home directory, so it's really up to the sysadmin to make sure that the quota for the home filesystem has been set at the same time.
or/and the user's/group's are stored in LDAP:
then user are added directly to the LDAP diretory and they maybe available on a large amount of servers and it's a pain to manage the quotas for each filesystem on each server.
also it's hard to handle changed group memberships...
I think there's a good reason that NTFS 5 support default quota limits.
And it would be cool if linux would support them too.
it's not hard to implement and it would make thinks much easier to handle in large environments!

but they all make the life easier.
Would it really hurt that much if the kernel would support it?
