OK, Lets see. Do you think you should be able to create a billion files on a default ext3 file system without issues? Because you won't be able to, even if you have the space for them. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to put in some sane limits, because of constraints elsewhere. To call software that has sane limits to cover 99.9% of usage patterns "broken" is pretty silly. If you think as a software developer, you never have to make compromises, or make a tough call on what 99.9% of users will do, you're being naive.
