I think historical data should not affect user quota since user is
unable to clean up his own historical data.
Historical data should be seen as administrative overhead, there is a
need to know some metric about the historical data so cleanup can be
automatized to avoid the scenario where users "got" space but it
doesnt exist phisically in the box.
