Thoughts about the policy I proposed above??

I disagree. Each passenger should be entitled to the same amount of overhead space. If I bring along a bloated roll-a-board, I sort of agree with you. I have used all my allotted space. But if I check my bag why can't I use "my" overhead space for anything I want. Especially since many pax bring a roll-a-board and another large bag and put both in the bins.
