Comment (by Eben):
I think for the conceivable future a hard limit is perfectly reasonable.
I discussed this with Dan (Williams) yesterday and we both felt that for
our use cases a hard cap of 8 or 10 would be acceptable. Right now we
have hardware limitations which don't allow too much more than that
anyway, and there's also a question of need. I'm not sure that the
educational use cases will ever require more than half a dozen activities
at once, and I'm not sure that most children's attention span can handle
more either. In any case, teaching them to manage their activities from
the start sounds like a good plan, and the ring visual is perfectly suited
to indicating this hard limit.
