I'm not sure why enforcing this creates pressure to increase the max. Sure, you need to advertise a value that actually makes sense (i.e. you should request as many CIDs as you think you'll need), and not rely on the peer overflowing this limit (which is exactly what we're trying to avoid in the first place).
