Shorter Abbreviations

In my company we have many 2 character abbreviations. I have edited the $regex{abbrevRegex} in Foswiki.pm to allow abbreviations as short as two rather than three.

This works fine - at least no issues so far. However, anybody know why the limit was set at 3 rather than 2?

My further concern is that I do not want to have to re-apply this change on every upgrade. Can this be done with a plugin or contrib, or is this better raised as a feature request with the limit as a config option?

I've now installed ControlWikiWordPlugin, by adding the following rule: '(?::upper:{2})' => 'Main' I've been able to achieve this in a maintainable way.
