| Nov 20, 2012 at 2:39 | comment | added | bmike♦ | @cawas - Fair enough. We've gotten rid of the "not constructive" close reason, so I don't see a need to have this closed. | |
| Nov 20, 2012 at 1:02 | comment | added | cregox | @bmike I find it weird closing a question that was already mostly answered... but well, can't care about it now! ;-) | |

| Nov 19, 2012 at 15:58 | comment | added | bmike♦ | @cawas - I've agreed with the close votes and cast the final vote to close this. Hit us up in Ask Different Chat if you want to edit this to be more of a practical question by getting to the problem you wish to solve. As it stands - it's a nice discussion about OS design but not something that's answerable. I don't think we'll delete this, but I also don't see leaving it open indefinitely for more people to answer unless it's more narrowly scoped... | |

| Nov 19, 2012 at 15:54 | comment | added | bmike♦ | You as the user already have the tools to accomplish this. Make a second partition on your system and store everything you classify as not system on the second partition. You can grow and shrink that partition on demand and let the system have the balance. You will see that the system doesn't grow it's needs unexpectedly or progressively over time and instead fits in a contained space quite well. | |
| Nov 18, 2012 at 21:32 | comment | added | cregox | @JRobert I was actually hoping someone could point to an Apple article where they would tell a general reasoning but not get in to any technical details, like they usually do. | |

| Nov 18, 2012 at 21:18 | comment | added | JRobert | Interesting solution. But we could only propose pros and cons; only Apple could tell you their reasons (and they aren't likely to). | |
