I think the free space is useful, but agree that the frequent changes are
annoying.  How about reducing this to something like the rounded value of
free space as Gig/Meg/Kilo?

The current code (which become 2.3.3 soon) has a crude version of this for
IOS XR/XE like so:

        if (($ios eq "XR" || $ios eq "XE") && /.*\((\d+) bytes free\)/) {
            my($tmp) = int($1 / (1024 * 1024));
            s/$1 bytes free/$tmp MB free/; 
        }
