Whether to raise it back up above ten was debated, not whether to set
a limit in the first place. Here's Prospero's comment if you want to
verify:

Making accusations is an unfair characterization. I explicitly asked
for help and pointed out the limits of what we can QA. But your point
is good all the same: It would help a lot if a list of changes were
pushed here and in forums whenever aditi was updated. I'm going to ask
the release team about doing this.
