0.92.1 -> 0.93: What replaced ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio?

I'm just going through the config changes for a 0.92.1 -> 0.93 upgrade,
and I'm wondering what replaced ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio. I don't see
any option that looks even remotely similar (and while it was perhaps
overzealous or limited, it had its place in preventing a malicious
archive from overloading a system by inflating itself by several orders
of magnitude on decompression).

ArchiveMaxCompressionRation has been removed and is no longer needed
in the new limits approach:
