Comment (by shawnkhall):

 @dougwrites, No. This essentially just adds hookable handling while
 effectively emulating the exact same behavior as before. In other words:
 it makes it possible for the site manager to control what is a "large
 network" for the purposes of their own system, without relying solely on
 the "magic numbers" that are in place in the 3.0 to 3.2.1 releases. While
 an alternative is to use a conditional define for the limit, the method
 used here allows for a dynamic implementation. For example, say you only
 want to allow user 1 to have full scope (treat it as full access), while
 limiting others. This would do that pretty easily.
