Agreed, shattering a read/ write stream into miniscule pieces improves interop at small cost to typical usage of much storage.

Sorry I mistook the words "I wonder if we shouldn't reduce max_sectors permanently" as a disavowal of your cogent discussion:

We should let people who want more performance tweak the fragment size up
(to a reasonably large limit) if they want to try -- this could lead to
device failures or better performance. Letting people shoot themselves in
the foot is a long-standing tradition in Linux, but I don't want to leave
the 'non-power users' out in the cold.
