+// Some systems set an artificially low soft limit on open file count, for compatibility
+// with code that uses select and its hard-coded maximum file descriptor
+// (limited by the size of fd_set).
+//
+// Go does not use select, so it should not be subject to these limits.
+// On some systems the limit is 256, which is very easy to run into,
+// even in simple programs like gofmt when they parallelize walking
+// a file tree.
+//
+// After a long discussion on go.dev/issue/46279, we decided the
+// best approach was for Go to raise the limit unconditionally for itself,
+// and then leave old software to set the limit back as needed.
+// Code that really wants Go to leave the limit alone can set the hard limit,
+// which Go of course has no choice but to respect.
