Referendum 484, proposing to increase the number of parachain validators from 500 to 600, is now up for vote. https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/484

Note that Ref 484 does not increase the number of validators in the active set (which stays at 1000), but the number of validators used for parachain validation.
