The second issue is that you might end up with a huge number of buckets per user, and at that point listing buckets may just take too long. We've seen in the past cases where listing large number of buckets (> 500k) took more than the client timeout period, which in turn retried and retried, which snowballed into a very high load on the gateway (as the original requests were still processing internally). However, this might not be an issue anymore, I do remember we had a problem with streamlining the list bucket responses which I think is already fixed. In any case, if you're not planning to list all the user's buckets then this is moot.
