I think you’re right, CarlenLea – after looking at it some more, it seems like there was really a small (but very vocal) part of the user base making a big deal about this.

I don’t think it will have much impact on user-ship at all. If you look at the forums it’s the same 20 people having a conversation about the changes. One guy has 19,000+ contacts — that’s just contact porn. There’s no way they all look at his stuff often enough to even notice if he dumps them from the list.

Even Mr. Hawk, is is one of the most popular Flickr ites only has 5,000 contacts.

Flickr reversed a big part of what made the 3,000 contact limit bad and changed it to only limit 3,000 non-reciprocating contacts.
