Jim,

Thanks for your bug report :) I tend to agree with you.

It looks like the proper place to set this would be in /etc/skel/.bashrc which is part of the bash package.
I'm attaching a patch to set the history to 2500 which seems like it should be large enough for the vast majority of users.
I also updated the comment.
