It's likely a user will be low on space after running --reindex, so recommend the use of public-inbox-compact afterwards. And add a few more notes about using public-inbox-compact to clarify it's for inboxes-only (and not any old Xapian DBs) that using xapian-compact(1) directly is error-prone and likely to break things.
