I'm not recalling any specific limitation here. And if there is one,
then we should parameterize it so it is easy to find and easy to pump
up.

Sure, parameterize everything (if it isn't done already) and then we can
try pumping it up and see what breaks. I'll push on any problems we find
deeper inside the backend.
