Everything would take less than a minute to make, but then we would have useless, unoptimized, unstable, not consistent, ridiculous piece of shit instead of good multiplayer mod
My opinion: Increasing is good but only when RakNet will handle it without additional lag, The Other Mod can set the limit to 65535 just to show off because almost noone plays it, here some server sooner or later would hit 1000/1000 or sth similar and if it would cause problems it's better idea NOT to raise the limit
Also there are maybe 3-4 servers that really need it, so it's basically waste of time and resources to make something for 1% of servers, better do something for 99% of them, and optimising the net code that'd be needed for bigger limit could go to make lag compensation for vehicles (no more lag-PIT) or skins (less forward-shooting) [note that it has NOTHING to do with improving sync!]
