How about the (fairly critical) ones raised by the authors of uBlock?

uBlock currently has ~75,000 rules. That list isn't getting smaller, so which 50% of the rules would you cut?
In a few years, which 2/3 of the rules would you cut?
How is this a win for consumers? How have they addressed those major concerns?
Edit: That was stock, I just added a few lists and passed 100,000 network filter rules. Please explain to me slowly, as if I were a child, how a static limit of 30,000 rules is a bigger number than 100,000, and why my computer with 128GB of RAM memory can't possibly support more than 30,000 rules?
The changes included greatly increasing the rule list size, allowing dynamic rules, not requiring the list be included in the manifest (for independent updates), and the ability to adjust some network headers.
As I said, they addressed all the major concerns that I saw raised.
