During the whole discussions we always made clear that we can't and won't change the default soft limit, because of the incompatibility with select(), which cannot deal with fds > 1024. i.e. there always needs to be the explicit "opt-in" step for apps to say "i am happy with fds > 1024" (aka, "I promise not to use select()") by bumping the soft limit to the high limit.
