I don't think everyone needs to be aware of the problem before a
solution is implemented. There are plenty of people who would like to
be able to upload larger files and are aware that this would help the
WF and her projects. It doesn't matter that most users wouldn't upload
a 10MB file - many would and it would help the project to have these
files available.
