I wanted to attach test cases for https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/BugTriage-mwlib but I can't because even a simple single-article PDF is 16 MiB (https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:Buch&bookcmd=render_article&arttitle=Corps&oldid=60280924&writer=rdf2latex ). It would be nice to be able to upload attachments of 20 MiB or more; I'm not aware of any abuse so I can't think of a reason not to.
I don't plan to raise this limit currently. It would also require raising the limit in Phabricator when importing attachments and we don't want that, see http://fab.wmflabs.org/T261 Larger attachments should be hosted elsewhere (e.g. on wiki?). (Would also require changing max_allowed_packet in the MySQL configuration. No idea where it's today, but in 2001 the practical limit was 16MB for MySQL.)
