The upstream bandwidth is probably the major resource requirement.
I've got adequate resources to offer accounts but my ADSL is *very* A:
only 128Kb/s upstream.  There's also the issue of WORM-block
consumption or, in venti, arena-block consumption.

If giving out accounts to complete strangers, I'd want to look at what
to do about the wide-open permissions that seem to be necessary under
/mail and the ability of anybody to create and remove files from /srv.
Apparently no one can rename files in /srv (the attempt is quietly
ignored), which helps.  It might be handy to have a way to create a
new #s instance or perhaps to be able to copy #s during rfork
(RFSRVG?).
