Ideally, the upload limit will eventually be high

to be discussed, but I can't see how a 40MB limit would cause us any
problems or cost us significant resources.
I've forwarded your message to wikitech-l asking what the practical
issues would be with upping the limit, e.g. if the servers would melt.
Thank you, hopefully we can reach a couple of conclusions and see
something happen if consensus is achieved.
Just to clarify my last post, when I stated "with classical music
movements of up to ~20MB, this would need to be up to 100 MB lossless
music in FLAC format", I meant to say "with classical music movements
of up to ~20 MINUTES...". I've either had too much coffee today or not
enough sleep; I'll read what I write a little more carefully :)
