Me in all...
I'd also like to second the call for obscenely large numbers of FDs.
People do use thousands of FDs right now, and doing 2.2.x lifetime,
growth in squids and stuff will likely mean people will want 20k or
more FDs.
I really believe this is something we need before 2.2.x. I'm even
offering (NZ) beer towards the cause.
(for those who doubt this, people are presently running large squids
which already 5k FDs).

Didn't Ingo post a patch to aleivate the x86 limit about three months
back?
