replying in public since i think other app devs might be interested in
that as well ...

the first and foremost target of this move is to bring up enough of the
session to be able to tell the user his disk is full and needs room made
and also to make sure he/she can still make emergency calls ... 

that said, apps should not crash hard but fail gracefully if they can
not write to their config dirs in the users home, so that you do not end
up with a ton of crash reports just because the home dir was 100%
full ... I consider this part a nice to have thing though as long as an
app does not prevent the session itself from starting.

ciao
