It's been said before, but I'll say it again:

Given recent events and patches in the codebase for security issues, it is felt
that making this a settable option or simply increasing it for all cases is
possibly insecure and therefore unlikely to happen.

You have the code, so you could patch it yourself; you could even use the patch
in this bug *but* considered opinion is that although this could be useful,
it's also risky.

Too risky.

Now that I've had chance to mull it over, I don't like the suggestion (I did, a
little, before) because of that risk.
