I get it - but I'm arguing that the amount of egress traffic Glacier customers (in aggregate) are likely to drive is nothing in comparison to what S3 and/or EC2 already does (in aggregate). They'll likely contribute very little to a given region's overall peakiness.
That said - the idea is certainly sound. A friend and I had talked about ways to incentivize S3 customers to do their inbound and outbound data transfers off-peak (thereby flattening it). A very small percentage of the customers drive peak, and usually by doing something they could easily time-shift.
