Comment (by bastik):

 It's an invitation to upload "unwanted" stuff and give people who have to
 fix it a hard time. What would be the solution when this happens?

 Maybe restrict the number of objects in one changeset to what can still be
 downloaded with `/changeset/#id/download`. Or add a call to split the
 download into several requests (like
 `/trackpoints?bbox=left,bottom,right,top&page=X`)
