So that'll be a "not yet", then.
How do we (or rather, our developers) know when we are ready?
Of course we can't predict what will happen when we double the limit - will we get tons of stuff that is 30-40mb, or will uploads continue at more or less the same size. So - ?

Initially we may get a bit of an increase as people upload videos that they have been unable to upload until that point (early silent films which qualify as PD-old :D). Most of our uploads will still be images, and small images at that - I really can't imagine a significant number of files in the 20-40 MB range being uploaded. Apart from early silent films, some classical music movements that are particularly long, spoken Wikipedia articles and a few high-resolution images will be uploaded. I don't see this making a big dent.
