Yes, please. If the limit calculation needs to be changed, this should be
done in the kernel.
From what I see, 31517 processes in 4GB comes out to an average of 133K per
process. That seems like an unrealistically low amount of per-process
memory for common usage, and I think the process ulimit should probably be
lowered.
