It makes quite a bit of sense.
Say, for example, that 100 images are deleted daily from Wikimedia
projects. If they are erased permanently, that would mean we saved at
least a little bit of space, as opposed to keeping them around
forever.
I don't know if we ever erased them permanently, though, and I also
don't know with wham frequency images are deleted, and I'm also pretty
sure disco space was never a real problem.

Why the hell does everybody seem to have thought that? There was
never, as far as I am aware, any policy related to saving disk space
that would cause that. It's simply that there was a lack of code until
now. :)
