We have changed from admin to cratmanegment for a good reason (GWT is powerful tool like
botflag).
10 per XML sounds like nonsense. The user can use UploadWirzard...
This tool has a specific SCOPE and should not be open for all users.
Pleas note: Such a change is not possible without community consensus and huge changes in
the GWT code.

AFAIK, the only risk of this move would be to be flooded by inadequate
files. That's why we should maybe limit the number of parallel GWT
downloads to 1 or limit the overall number of uploads to 10 per XML file
for non-GWT permitted users. An other solution would be to adapt current
admin tools to allow them to efficiently deal with this new kind of
challenges.
