I doubt it presents much problem as regards the 'running out' issue
anyway.  Things like fsck time, maybe.  But I've got a rather oldish
and rather smallish /var, and:

Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity iused  ifree %iused  Mounted on
/dev/da1s1f    992M    266M    647M    29%    3802 250148    1%   /var


13k inodes wouldn't faze it.
