I'd suggest increasing the default limit by changing how it is calculated. The current number came about 13 years ago when machines had orders of magnitude less RAM than they do today.
Thanks for the suggestion. Does the default also have implications other than memory usage? For example, concurrency/performance of as much aio contexts running, or if userspace could try to exploit some point with a larger number? Wondering about it because it can be set based on num_possible_cpus(), but that might be really large on high-end systems.
