:::::::::With respect to the hard limit on protection, the only disadvantage I see to this is the deleted pages that we protect to prevent re-creation, maybe an override for 'bcrats and ArbCom / Stewards / Jimbo might be necessary. I was just on the tech channel and Rob Church says there's a bug report for it somewhere (and being stupid and not finding the right keyword, I haven't found the URL yet) but it looks like it might be dooable (though probally on the list of bugs to fix its faster 550 or so)
