Oh, well.. reading the fedora patch...

What the patch does is to limit the number of filedescriptors to the
minimum of ulimit and the new squid.conf setting, so they have actually
introduced one more limit, not really made it easier to increase the
setting. They could just as well do away with the patch and replace it
with a /etc/sysconfig/squid variable tuning the ulimit (which then need
to add anyway to make it possible for users to use the new squid.conf
directive..)

so no, this is not a patch likely to go into the main sources. But
adding a squid.conf directive is probably a good idea, and to stop
obeying ulimit.. could even get rid of the --with-maxfd dependencies in
most cases.
