Why was OIDCCacheShmMax increased from 500 to 10000?

Hi,

In 2.4.14, the OIDCCacheShmMax directive's default value was increased from 500 to 10000. I am curious about the reason that led to such a big bump. Did the value of 500 generate too much bugs? Or is it due to a new feature in this version that works better with 10000?

Thanks!

the 500 was on the very conservative side 10 years ago when this project was created; machines have far more RAM now on average - and the increase takes only a small margin of that - plus people reported unexpected warnings indeed when moving from test to full production; it is only the default setting, one can change it to their own requirements
