Changing MAXUSERS to something else would probably just aggravate a lot of
people and not help much.  A better solution (which has already been done
for the mbuf system) is to turn the setting MAXUSERS into tuneables that
can be set in loader.conf.  And once that's complete, it leaves the door
open for someone to add auto-tuning based on ram size.
