The number can only be configured to be at or below the maximum that was
hardcoded before. Perhaps someone wants to reduce the maximum used by
the node for bandwidth availability reasons. Darknet peer counts are
totally user configurable and opennet can be completely disabled. I
think we should prefer the opennet peer count be user configurable to
match the darknet peer count. AFAIK, most people won't be reducing the
opennet peer count without some reason to do so as most users would
prefer to increase it above 20, thinking that will improve things for
them and the current code won't let them do that.
