Can you provide a reference to this 'demand' a post by Luke isn't
enough to support the claim of demand.

We're not at maximum size right now (thankfully).

We don't know what the network dynamics would look like at that
traffic level. So how could we competently say what the right metrics
would be to get the right behavior there? Thats what I meant by too
early.
