Updating WP_MEMORY_LIMIT

Considering that since 2008, and PHP >5.2.0 the memory_limit value is equal to 128 MB or more, should we consider an update of this value in the WordPress base configuration, or at least an update of the values.

The proposal from the EXAMPLE  is for WP_MEMORY_LIMIT:

  • WordPress Single: define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
  • WordPress Multisite: define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '368M');

Another patch should be:

WP_MEMORY_LIMIT <= WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT <= memory_limit

Users can modify the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT and WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT at wp-config.php and should have some limitations in values, as far as WordPress cannot overflow PHP.
