Sorry for the late response. I've been focusing on work lately. My apologies, as I didn't realize that the crowdmatch code was already checking for this. I'm surprised, though, that the decision was made to hard code the value up front, as I don't think it'd be much more difficult to add the value to each user in the db, default it to 5, and just access that variable in the crowdmatch logic. Even though users wouldn't be able to change it up front, it would at least set up the framework for the beta changes. But, if hardcoding is the way we want to go fine.
I was checking to see if the UI to change the limit has been removed. Unfortunately, the latest master isn't building, so I can't 100% confirm. Looking at the template, it appears on quick glance that iko removed it. Hopefully she did. If that's the case, then I think this discussion is wrapped up.
