I guess I favor the 50,000 limit ... or even the current 10,000 limit!, paired with a new command/feature to move older files to an archiving area. In the "archive" area, they would just be ordinary spool files, not in the domain of the 50K/10K/whatever limit, not visible via normal SPF commands, but easily recoverable back into the spooler's domain, if necessary (e.g., the user says: I lost my report, can you print another copy).
