Hm there's a pile of commits there, and nothing immediately jumps to
light. The thing is, 18 is likely way too much, since if e.g. we have a
single new property on a plane and that pushes over the limit on all of
them, you get iirc 3x4 already simply because we have that many planes.

So would be good to know the actual culprit.

Can you pls try to bisect the above range, applying the patch as a fixup
locally (without commit, that will confuse git bisect a bit I think), so
we know what/where went wrong?

I'm still confused why this isn't showing up anywhere in our intel ci ...

Thanks, Daniel
