I agree.

Also to consider is having the wrappers behave differently (e.g. use 
local vs shared filesystem) based on knowledge of the app's size and I/O 
volume vs available space and transfer rates.

I'm in favor of heading to an approach where we have good fast default 
configurations for all our locally used systems (TG, OSG and the 
supercomputers) that work well for most apps, and some well documented 
guidelines tell users under what conditions they need to change the 
settings.
