The extension restricts the number of messages that can be processed with a
command. The security considerations section notes that new bugs could
potentially be introduced, and that quality assurance testing will be used to
mitigate that possibility.

Restrictions or setting limits typically helps to prevent security problems
such as buffer overruns, so the extension could be helpful from a security
persective preventing DoS attacks or other exploits of the server or server
resources.

If the team would like to add something to that effect into the security
considerations, it is reasonable.
