Yes, agreed.  `org-agenda-max-entries' and `org-agenda-max-entries'
are less useful when the limitation is done *at the end* as it is now
(my bad, as I implemented this).

I would welcome a patch that take org-agenda-max-* variables into
account right after the list of agenda items has been collected and
just *before* any other filtering happens.

Let me know if this is something you can explore.  Thanks!
