Good point. I think I'll prepare a patch, then, that adds to both eeschema and pcbnew an option in the preferences dialog: "Maximum number of undo items", which defaults to 50 and can be set to any positive integer. Up to you and Wayne, of course, whether you'd rather hold onto it until after the stable release (I'm fine with that), but I would definitely like to see this changed in the near future.
