Why's the reorg currently limited to 2 blocks?

Looking at the previous direct RPC block pulling method, the limiting factor was how fast the BTC node could spit out block data. Theoretically, if you had access to multiple BTC nodes that you trusted, you could get a MUCH faster full build of your commits file, right? That's pretty sick if it's true, though again the question is how to enable that while maintaining as much security as possible.

Another question that pops up is the port management; the combunity release connects to port 8332, and from the reading I've done the combdownloader hosts on 8332, so that makes sense. But what happens when BTC tries to host on 8332, like it normally would? Do you have to launch the downloader before the BTC, or modify BTC's default RPC port to something other than 8332?
