Same way, the response text length too can be configurable. But since one can always leave a note on talk page if it exceeds 2000 chars, this doesnt matter much.

Making it configurable is not going to happen... Increasing the size makes sense

I've updated the patch to reflect Wikimedia's performance engineering dept's wish to keep the feedback length within the current schema bandwidth.
