Different hardware implementations will have limitations. This situation
is quite similar to software. Hardware is generally optimized for a
particular modulus, and if you select a modulus larger than the optimized
one, it either fails or runs slower.

I agree that having a maximum size is a bad idea.
I agree also. My concern centers around optimized implementations that
require an upper bound (hardware implementations, specifically). I
don't know if this is actually an issue, but Russ will.
From a security point of view, more is better of course. Well, that's
what people tell me anyway.
