these files is ridiculously easy.
You're right, shure. But it still has to be done and this gonna annoy
somebody, somwhere.
We are not currently disallowing users to create articles with offensive
content, even though it might annoy somebody, somewhere.
The Wiki way is not to use technical means to disallow something, but
community means.
In other words, the "correct" way to handle large files would be to have
a Special page to list the largest files by their size. In fact, I'm
pretty sure one of the Special pages can already do this. Then all we
need to do is to get some volunteers to patrol this list to see if there
are any ridiculously large files that don't belong on Wikipedia.
