Schema normalization rules no longer seem to have a limit to prevent infinite loops

See original GitHub issue

This feature in previous versions of Slate was really helpful, but in 0.42.x it doesn’t seem to be there; at least I’m not seeing it.

Error: A schema rule could not be normalized after sufficient iterations. This is usually due to a rule.normalizeorplugin.normalizeNode function of a schema being incorrectly written, causing an infinite loop.

I’ve been waiting to hit the maximum callstack while debugging some normalization rules and it made me realize how much I appreciated that failsafe. Was this intentionally removed, or did I break something?

I think your point is good though that 1000 is too high to be useful so let’s keep this open til we fix it.
