As was noted by Kurth, there is at least one group that does go more along a variable file size that's likely based on CRF results. Early on in their h.264 usage, I was actually kind of surprised to see that, being amongst the uninformed. Technically speaking, a lot of raw providers have already been doing this for as far as I've known.
I'm not sure if there are other groups that follow this, since I don't usually pay attention to file sizes. My view on the matter, however, is that I would much prefer to be able to take away from an episode that would gain "invisible" quality from using a standard file size and offering the freed amount to an episode that could really benefit from a larger-than-standard file size.
