[Building Sakai] Site's URL alias regression at 2.9?

FYI, I have created a JIRA about limiting the number of aliases for
URLs, which I think that is easier to solve than aliases conflicts with
mailarchive.
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-23080
Having that AliasService.getAliases can be used specifying a record
range, it does not seem too hard to add a limit, but I'm not able to see
if this would have impact in other functionalities.
Best regards.
