Thanks for the new feature. I tried and it works well for what it intended
to do. However, I still haven't found a way to do the kind of things I
mentioned.

My intention is to limit the number of tasks in each category. For the new
proposed 'org-agenda-max-todos', I can only limit the number of TODOs in
the whole TODO lists.

Maybe for what I want, it's desirable to add a auto-split or auto-group
features, where a list of TODOs, can be split further into multiple lists
of TODOs, by a certain criteria (tags, category).

What do you think about it?
