26	remove default size limits from all Constraints	Brian Warner	Brian Warner	"At allmydata, we've been surprised several times now by the default size limits that most container Constraints have. For example, the ListOf constraint imposes a limit of 30 items.

I added these default sizes based upon my personal expectations of ""normal"" usage. What I've learned is that this was a pretty narrow point of view, and that everybody else using Foolscap has had different expectations. The biggest problem is the surprise factor: things work great for a while, then after you've tested everything, stuff breaks because the data you're transmitting grows beyond default limits.

So I'm thinking that the type-checking utility of Constraints is independent of their DoS-mitigation utility, and therefore it makes more sense to remove these default size limits.
