+### `Internal.UnixFSShardingSizeThreshold`
+
+The sharding threshold used internally to decide whether a UnixFS directory should be sharded or not.
+This value is not strictly related to the size of the UnixFS directory block and any increases in
+the threshold should come with being careful that block sizes stay under 2MiB in order for them to be
+reliably transferable through the networking stack (IPFS peers on the public swarm tend to ignore requests for blocks bigger than 2MiB).
+
+Decreasing this value to 1B is functionally equivalent to the previous experimental sharding option to
+shard all directories.
