You are free to comment on anything.
I believe probability someone uses that with more than 4 CPUs is <
5%. Probability that someone uses it with more than 100 CPUs is << 1%
I'd say. Systems just don't have that many LEDs. I'll take the risk.
If I broke someone's real, existing setup, I'll raise the limit.
(With exception of uled setups. In such cases, I'll just laugh.)
If you know or can find out someone using it with more than 4 CPUs, I
can obviously raise the limit before the merge.
Best regards,
Pavel
