Simple: there is no magic number that works for everybody, and just 
setting the limits to an arbitrary high value is not a solution since 
that means more memory usage per request. This being said if you need a 
custom build then DM Solutions can prepare one for a fee and others on 
this list may be able to do it as well.

FYI there is already a bug about this, we just need time to be able to 
work on it (or funding to make it a higher priority):
