Of course you get an answer
In my opinion a very long distribution is not good. Your answer “…this takes us to 5 to 10 years” frightened me. Because the distribution becomes a faucet. But I know this is debatable in every direction (.. so many pros and cons, I don't like to discuss this..) – let’s say it’s only my feeling..

This takes me to the question:
1. How long shoud we (tony) distribute slow (to remain attractive to the new adopters):
*62.5 MB for every 1 BTC of proven balance
*0.1 new bytes for every 1 byte

2. How to find a rule (a comprehensible abort criteria) to chance to fast Distribution=>old rules (Which is very powerful for early adopters.):
*62.5 MB for every 1 BTC of proven balance
*1 new bytes for every 1 byte

There is a easy anser: The dev says how it goes. He can change the speed of distribution in any direction (I'm sure he's able to do that very well.). But this makes him vulnerable and leads to meaningless discussions…

The second rule is to prevent the distribution to become a faucet (... if the distribution grows very slowly -> homoeopathic distribution). 
