AIUI, there are security implications for raising this limit system-wide
by default, since applications that use select() are often broken and
will become vulnerable with a higher limit.

The default nofile ulimit is 1024 soft, 4096 hard.
As you know, the soft limit is *the* limit. A hard limit specifies how
high a process may increase the ulimit; many processes don't attempt
this. Apache on CentOS 6, for example, will easily run over the 1024
soft limit after just 55 server side
