1. If designers have decided to limit access to that info only to root -
they must have their reasons to do so, and letting everybody do that is
probably contrary to those reasons.

2. I want to limit access to sftp, so there will be no custom commands
to execute...

3. sftp clients (especially those for windows) can determine quota - and
they do it probably in some standard way - which doesn't seem to be
compatible with btrfs...
