Can you please describe the impact? Why changed from 32 to 512?

Also there is no way to discover this MAX value without checking the code. Overall, why this max values are required at all? After quick check I can see they are used for some bulk operations, which I assume can be eliminated, what do you think? > Signed-off-by: Ciara Loftus <...>
