When using "view code" the whole file is read into RAM before being echoed back to the user. When large uploads are allowed (e.g. in the same order of magnitude as the available RAM) this can lead to performance problems and can easily be abused by a malicious user. This is a breaking change - if a server operator wants to maintain the unlimited behaviour he would have to set ViewLimit >= SizeLimit.
