There are some downsides: if you have have old binaries that
have slipped out of the upgrade/patch cycle you are looking at
a potential security risk. I have thought in the past "1GB is
*bound* to be a big enough /usr!" and when I hit 85% utilisation
have to look at upgrading my disk, faffing with extra mounts
or a suffering performance hit. Or clearing it all up.
