AFAIK, the plan is to *discourage* deletion until the disk is getting
full. When you are getting to disk-full, "trashcan" doesn't help.

When you are running out off disk space, we have two cases:

 - ds-backup has been doing its job, there's a copy of the files in
the XS, so the journal has old-and-backed-up files that it can decide
to rm

 - no old-and-backed-up files we can safely remove? Prompt the user

cheers,
