increase total volume limit

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

the total limit today is 

Basic volumes per system:  15,864

we already hitting this limit with only 970 volumes.

we have svc Stretched Mode and we are trying to do safeguard copy 7 generation snapshot and we are hitting the limit  (1 snap every morning for the last 7 days)
I had to do only 5 generation and i'm in a risk of hitting the limit if i grow in volumes to my servers. 

also I didn't even used all my available storage in the system . only 35% used of 2000+TB (2PB) ....

I cant do snapshot 1 week.

on my other storage vendors i can do this easily. like HITACHI VSP has volume limit of 65K and the snapshots are not even count in that limit.

please increase the volume limit or i cant use all the storage and cant protect my organization with snapshots..

is there any software update soon to increase volume limit?
