Brill Pappin reopened MRM-229:
------------------------------


Setting the issue as "Won't Fix" based on the statement that people can't agree on what minimum values are is completely bogus.

1) This is a team of experienced developers and *sombody* does have the final say to get people in line when no agreement can be reached.
2) When in doubt, err on the side of the user experience; which means you don't limit the values. Most people using it *will not care* and those minority that do can be the ones to go looking though the documentation to find out how to limit it.
