People WILL complain about it. why? it's a config option. Some distros ship 100 already, others 1000, again others will do 250. What does it matter? (Although I still prefer 300 over 250 due to the 50/60 thing) This is not a userspace visible thing really with few exceptions, and well people can select the one they want, right?
