No, you are missing my point. I assume you proposed (even though you
didn't say so explicitly) that parse_qs gets an opt-in API change to
limit the number of parameters. If that is added, it will have no
effect on any existing applications, as they will all currently not
pass that parameter.
No, I said it would include a default value of (say) 1000 parameters.
That default value would be applied to anyone doesn't use the new API.
(the reason I'm proposing a new API is to allow people to change or
disable the limit, in case they really want to pass a large number of
parameters)
I see. -1 on that proposal, then: there are certainly applications that will
break with that. I don't find 1000 POST parameters a lot, and I'm sure that
people use that in a programmatic fashion (e.g. to mass-upload stuff).
If you really think that kind of change is necessary, develop a separate patch
that people who are worried can apply.

Martin
