    We use object quota at AstroVR.  Well, we effectively don't impose *any* quota
    at all and using straight object quota (with a very high limit) is the easiest
    way to implement it.

    In a RL system designed to help get work done quota should be allocated in a
    way that makes it easiest for the work to get done, and until system limits
    are reached it makes sense to let those doing the work use the quota.  I
    imagine that at some point this could be a problem.

    Since very large quota uses involve storing huge amounts of data in-MOO, one
    solution is to interface the MOO to a commercial large scale DBMS, a path
    we are pursuing with some success.
