Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Why does session.gc_maxlifetime default to 1440 seconds?

Hey Yasuo,

Yes, there can surely be no other reason for the existence of the value,
than that someone wrote it :)

I think what I'm interested in is the reasoning behind it, since it seems
so arbitrary. It's not 20 or 30 minuts, for example.

I have tried emailing the author a long time ago but never received a reply.
