We've had to increase the allowed file size a few times. Only once
(that I'm aware of) have we outright rejected an upload, but in that
case the uploader ended up trimming a bunch of garbage (build related
and not appropriate for distribution) from the upload file which
significantly reduced its size back to below our limit.
