why?

it's a config option. Some distros ship 100 already, others 1000, again
others will do 250. What does it matter?
(Although I still prefer 300 over 250 due to the 50/60 thing)

This is not a userspace visible thing really with few exceptions, and
well people can select the one they want, right?
