Can we please please PLEASE link to that as a comment above max_connections?

Last time this came up nobody was happy with wording of a comment so 
nothing got done. It's a real usability wart - causing real-world 
performance and reliability problems - that people unwittingly raise 
max_connections to absurd levels because they get no warnings, hints or 
guidance of any sort.
