Only for mainstream mass-market hardware.

Depends. To what extent is "more users" an overriding good?
In this particular case, I
The right thing to do is dynamically allocate (and reallocate) memory
as needed, so there is no compiled-in limit.

Sorry for replying yet again. I promise to not rant any more! :-)
Consider this: A board with say

So that begs the question: How much memory?

It affects the size of many arrays, so making it arbitrarily large
eats up memory.

In globalconst.h in your pcb source tree, change this:
#define MAX_LAYER 16 /* max number of layer, check source */
... to something bigger,
I have a 10 layer pcb that I have just completed routing. I need to
create a board outline with some notches etc and when I try to add an
extra layer for the outline I can not, as I am maxed out at the 16 layer
limit (i.e. 10 routing layers + silk + rats + pads + vias + far side +
solder mask).
