I checked the sources and apparently history-length default 
is still 30. It may have been a good default 20 years ago,
but in the 2010s it could be higher.

savehist and other packages can save the histories and it is very
useful to have access to a bunch of past history entries
which are easy to browse with the various history completion
packages.

Wouldn't 100 be a better default for history-length?
