Given that different people have a different idea of how this is supposed to work, we need to make it very clear of what the correct interpretation is. Leaving it as vague as it right now is doesn't seem like a good idea. Either it is purely a polite suggestion, or it is an actual limit, and to me it the current description doesn't communicate this very clearly.
