What you desribe as subtree quota is exactly a slightly limited
implementation of project quotas.  And yes, fs-specific quota interfaces
are a horribly bad idea.  If you add features add them in generic code
and make them opt-in for a specific filesystem to support.

And yes, fs-specific quota interfaces are an utter nightmare, speaking
as the person fixing all this crap up right now.
