That does not matter unless you are specifically selecting a single AP
based on BSSID and if you do that in an environment with over 200 APs
with the same SSID, it sounds like a special enough case to require
bss_max_count configuration. I implemented SSID-based selection in bss.c
and I would expect that to cover common cases.
