It's hard for me to imagine that the software built around this isn't just going to start crashing with enough of these changes. You've given a handful of (generously) junior engineers access to decade+ old software and they've just started changing things willy nilly. There will be downstream effects of this that software stops they're putting in place just stop working.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone changes this accidentally in a way that a limit like this is by-passable with minimal effort in the coming weeks (if not already).
