I can not see how someone can implement space reservation sensibly
without supporting quotas as well, for a Tier 0/1 it might be easy
to just setup extra pools for each reservation but this isn't an
option for us. I suspect that this is what they plan as a solution
until they have quotas working.
The situation at the moment is really bad we can not really support
more than a few VOs without quotas. We can get away with it at the
moment because not many VOs really use a SE.
