Whitelist: Maximum devices to add in a whitelist

Question

Hi 
 According to previous answers ( 1 & 2 ), the limitation on the maximum number of devices that can be added to a whitelist is 8, and is due to softdevice timing limitations. However this value is modifiable in ble_gap.h, so I was wondering if we can change this value to, say 16, in our app without any issue? If not, is there any plan to cater for more devices in the whitelist? 
 We are using nRF52 with softdevice S132 v3.0.0. 
 Thanks

The SoftDevice will still only support a maximum of 8 addresses in the whitelist, so it doesn't make much sense changing the define. 
 For future plans please contact the regional sales manager for your area, if you don't know who it is, send me a PM with your location and I'll let you know who it is. 
 If you have 16 addresses maybe a workaround could be to advertise/scan with 8 addresses at the time? For example advertise for 1 second with 8 addresses, then 1 second with other 8 addresses, and so on.
