Now that we've got uploads running on our new, beefier file servers, I've experimentally bumped the upload limit from 20 to 100 megabytes.
If we've got new beefy servers, another limit to at least consider bumping might be the PNG scaling limit. 12.5 megapixels isn't really all that much.
(On a tangent... there might be some ways to reduce the overall load from scaling large images, at least as long as the servers can handle the full-size images at all without bumping into memory limits. For example, there's no real need to rescale every thumbnail from the full image -- we might as well work from a pregenerated intermediate size image, as long as it's at least some suitable factor (2-4?) times larger than the target size to avoid noticeable aliasing.)
