Comment:

 Thanks, Sergey! OK, so this is something we might only hit if we also have
 a ton of plugins and creep close to the 40 MB limit. I am actually very
 surprised WP.com isn't either far above that, or deliberately -1.

 [attachment:24958.diff] implements a soft 1000 limit. I say "soft" because
 you can change it to -1 via $args for wp_get_post_revisions(). It is not
 enforced and thus does not need to be changed by reaching into a WP_Query
 filter. I think this is good for 3.6.1.
