I have seen no reason to allow for a customizable maximum because if you
don't hit it you never know it is there and if you do hit it is can really
only serve to annoy, so the plan has been to allow the input area to grow
until there is only half the original history area left (or perhaps just a
third left) and be done with that part of the sizing. Whether this is
reasonably possible I don't yet know.

And as to allowing people to control the minimum, that's been my
suggestion for some time now. Though again the feasability of the idea is
yet to be tested.
