Code Review

This pull request improves the documentation for the experimental EMPTY_RESERVED_FILES_PERIOD_MSECONDS feature by adding a detailed warning to the man page and relocating the option within the configuration file to group it with other experimental settings. The changes are clear and effectively communicate the risks associated with this feature. I have one suggestion to further enhance the in-file documentation to ensure administrators are fully aware of the potential impact when configuring the system.
