After some back and forth with the GA team... "10KB per beacon limit is
sufficient for current GA needs". Unfortunately, the GA team has asked me
to not disclose the exact distribution, but based on the data I've seen,
10KB is in the right ballpark: it covers current use cases and provides
some margin for growth. That said, values below 10KB will begin to pose
problems pretty quickly.. So, it may be worth considering 10KB as a good
floor value.
