That limit was removed ages ago.

I notice that when discussions occur on this list, a lot of misinformation
gets spread around.

The problem is that the actual networking developers don't read this list,
they read netdev@...r.kernel.org instead.

Maybe it's time that we just get rid of linux-net because it's been nothing
but problematic as users search for information on it and very few people
on that list are knowledgable enough to even consider answering.
