That also sounds like a good way to limit adoption as well, at least for anyone with more the N contacts, particularly >= 2N as that means likely a minimum waiting period before you can transfer over "more" contacts since some people will never accept/reject the invite because they don't use the app much.
If it were me and I had to wait on others to accept or reject my invite before I can continue transferring contacts, I'm gonna move on.
