Perhaps. Worst case for 1.xx is each list performing an 'uns*bscribe'
simultaneously because each list file is duplicated for a brief period
(list c*nfig, inf*, etc. file updates also duplicate the respective file
but are relatively small), so, for example, a 10Mb list would require
10Mb of free space to perform an 'uns*bscribe'.

Then there's the issue of archives and logs which grow over time and
require periodic maintenance and/or continuously expanding disk space.
