[whatwg/fetch] Why does Fetch specify a max redirect count of 20? (#576)

Why does Fetch specify a max redirect count of 20?
See https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#http-redirect-fetch (step 5)

It seems Chrome and Firefox have implemented this. I wanted to align Firefox but found out that CFNetwork currently uses a max redirect count of 16 internally which is not configurable. This is preventing us (and any CFNetwork client) to align with the Fetch specification.

Would people consider lowering the max redirect count in the Fetch specification given this (new?) information? The alternative for us would be to ask CFNetwork to make it configurable but this would likely take time.
