Thanks @Julian Anastasov. I appreciate the detailed response around
why these limits exist. Personally, I won't be able to own the task of
making these checks more intelligent, but for now, I wonder if it
would be okay to accept the range increase to 27.

I am sending a v2 patch to set a higher limit to 27.

Thanks,
Abhijeet
