 Change it. Current system is broken. My follow list is 186kb. A subscription on those pubkeys explodes everything. Primal can't handle it at all, Amethyst barely handles it. A lot of other clients just give up because it's not allowed by most relays.

Lists shouldn't be that large.

 Yeah, I had to unfollow people, to get mine to work. Then they started expanding the size and it's like 🤦🏻‍♀️

We are only a couple of years in and the OtherStuff is just getting going. The lists are going to be HUUUUUGE. 
 Not sure how attestation would change the REQ part though. If I migrate 2500 people into an attestation status, how can clients request for data on all those people? It'll hit either the REQ size limit or the subscription limit of relays. 
 That's the fun part. They don't. 😂

Totally silly to REQ 2500 people, at one time. We just won't do that.
