Project quotas scale exactly the same way as user or group quotas. 10k
different IDs defintively should be fine. 100k different IDs might run
into scaling problems with the in-core quota hash, but that's something
only limited by choice of a hash-table for the in-memory lookup and
could be easily fixed by switching to a smarter data structure which we
could fix short-term given sufficient enough interest.
