I just ran into the max hard link per directory limit, and remembered

What is the reason for the limit, and is there any chance of
increasing
it to something more reasonable as Mikhail suggested?
For comparison I tried to create 200k hardlinks to the the same
file in
the same directory on btrfs, ext4, reiserfs and xfs:
what real-world application uses and needs this many hard links?

I don't think that's a good counterargument for why this is not a bug.
Can't think of any off the top of my head for Linux, but definitely in
OS X Time Machine can easily create 200+ hardlinks.--
