Well given that this was my idea, I kind of know about that. In any case it isn't a use that stresses the size limit, it just seems as if morphing the service to a more general purpose data storage facility which clearly storing presets is (and you can argue about custom imagery configuration) would need some more thought that just unlimiting the fields. Not to forget the misuse potential for an essentially unlimited data sharing service.
