Automatic limits are also a denial of service risk for the entire network. If we implement them poorly, they could cause a cascade effect that pushes clients onto overloaded relays until they go down. For that reason alone, I'm not convinced this is a good idea. (I think we need a better design that separates load-balancing and security parameters. This is an area that needs further research.)
