Comment 2 for bug 2044575

Implementing the suggestion would certainly result in an increase in storage, and I don't have numbers, but it does intuitively feel like a penalty that would have to be incurred anyway at some point in time.

As mentioned in https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/708879 I don't think there is any kind of automagic object sharing (though I have to do some work to confirm this).

Once I've determined if there is indeed meant to be some kind of automagic object sharing, if it isn't working we will work to remediate that. If not, I think it warrants further analysis and conversation, as I think the lack of data prevents useful insights about storage usage (from me, at least).
