I would like to have the limit around 5.000, but that is not feasible 
because of constructs like these. Besides that, I think that broken 
design (I consider listing all newsitems a bad design), is something 
that is quite difficult to guard against. Especially that guards like 
these are making the system less flexible, and may bite you later.
