That's a very good compromise, continuing the precedent set with the
connections limit.  The GUI remains true to policy (in this case, don't
complicate it unnecessarily, in the connections case, stay within GNKSA),
but for those who need advanced or unusual functionality and flexibility,
the option is there, by simply editing the config directly.

I like the approach.  Thanks!
