Long overdue -- I think that 3K limit was there when I was investing as a college student, and now they probably can't afford to raise it much this year, or next, or any year in which their is a deficit (e.g. every year but one since 1969).

I'd rather they allowed dividends to get the same tax breaks as capital gains for the tax break dollars actually, and that would do much to make companies accountable for their total employee cost structure, including bringing back the old dividend exemption (I think it was the first $400 per year, or something like that).
