Right, as may not be clear, this is the goal. My impression is a
significant proportion of myth users (perhaps the majority) put myth
files on a disk partition dedicated only to myth. Indeed, they often
put it on a disk-spanning lvm dedicated only to myth.
As such, the space is for nothing else, and so why not have it always
fully in use, until myth needs it for something new, which is what
the autoexpire function does.
Myth is a lot more than just a PVR? Or have you missed
MythMusic/Video/Gallery/Game? All of which can require large amounts of
disk space. While I would agree that a large number of users have a
large LVM devoted to Myth, I would be surprised to hear that those
people only use the PVR aspects of Myth.
