If an RTI Advocate were to ask me about a change like that, I'd say
that it likely flies under the ARC radar.

Decreasing the allowable size of the M_DATA blocks could potentially
cause existing modules to fall apart, but it's hard to see how
increasing it has any interesting impact on anything.

I'd say "looks good; drive on."
