This proposal is part of an effort to increase the number of inbound

After this BIP is deployed, nodes could more easily implement inbound
connection limiting that differentiates low-resource nodes (such as those
sending disabletx) from full-relay peers, potentially allowing for an increase
in the number of block-relay-only connections that can be made on the network.
