Not working, no. But we have many bots who could accomplish leagues more if
they could edit faster. For example, my bot, which is migrating userboxes
out of the template namespace into user space and fixing the transclusions
works almost 24/7 (whenever I have access to a computer), and literally has
hundreds of thousands of edits to make. Editing at over 6/min could allow
it to accomplish a whole lot more than it does now.
That strikes me as useful, but not urgent. I think the current limit
makes sense for such bots (or bot tasks). For urgent ones, perhaps
there could be an exception.
