Yes, though I would expect the "straw that broke the camel's back"
would be smaller stuff, like internal storage used by existing apps.
Creating a directory requires very little disk space (versus, say,
trying to download a 10MB file, which requires approximately 10MB). So
they'd have to be really, really, really out of disk space, and apps
should be crashing left and right on them as a result.

I wouldn't think they'd mess with sharedUserId, but I suppose we can't
rule it out.
