I'm sorry, but having arbitrary programs change limits set by a system
policy because they feel like it, doesn't look like a good idea to me.
When I configure a policy I expect it to stay that way, and if it
backfires it's my mess to fix :) You could warn about the limit being
too low in the log at startup though.
