Yeah, upgrades temporarily needing twice the disk-space is to be expected and not a bug.
That `%_minimize_writes` actually affects disk-space consumption estimation is an interesting side-effect that I hadn't even thought of until now, but of course it does. 4.16 will auto-enable this if non-rotational disk(s) is detected, but in 4.15 it'll need to be manually enabled. There's nothing wrong with enabling it on rotational disks if minimizing space consumption is important, it'll just have different performance characteristics.
