I wonder when this will be a major issue: having most developers on one
platform and most users on another. At my previous workplace we had 1 guy only
on windows, and then he switched and then we had nobody checking what our own
product looked like on windows.

Nope on Hurd any value works fine, they don't have any hardcoded limit, so for
them even 20MiB is ok. But I suppose filesystems have limits.

I sent a patch where it's set to 260, feel free to add one more digit then!
