the situation isnt really comparable, the plus is more configured
for copy by human to i.e Junk folder, or i.e a client filter does this auto

it makes most sense with trash, so user should mostly able to copy to
trash, even if they have got full quota, this should avoid some errors
in clients

quota_rule = *:storage=1G
quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M
quota_rule3 = SPAM:ignore

with auto loosing mail after some time in my setup
which is the anounced policy, Trash and Junk are "autodeleted" folders
no mail there ,rests forever *g

 there's still a

as i said its a design question, your policy is ok too

no flame ,having your idea as alternative is always fine to have
