I'm happy to do that. I figured that leaving it as a separate patch
would provide an easy way to separate the discussion on how to
implement the new cap versus how to restrict it.
I don't know if I'd consider not having this patch a bug, especially
since it can make testing kind of a pain, but I see your point.
