The way I parsed the title was that the OP needs to write files into a folder, with no more than 10K files per folder. < is the proper symbol for this translation.

Kudos from kenneth,
for Super Search Foo;
I compliment your
Title::Parser too!
But "less than" points left,
and programmed sans heft:
A simple last is fine,
if nine-nine-nine-nine.
It's writing more than
that's made OP wan.
Millions is his plight;
Millions! To the right!
And folder misleads,
it's really folders --
"How to write million
files to subfolders"?
(sigh; ex pee depletes
as post gets older...)

While I think "<" is the best of the two, I had to read the post to make sense of the title. It's not a question of "<" vs ">". It's broken either way. Appropriate titles:
- Limiting a folder to < 10K files
- Avoiding the creation of > 10K files per folder
- Splitting 1 million files into multiple folders
None of them are particularly searchable, though.

I'm out of votes, or I would ++ your above node. This tickles the creative side of my brain (ie - it made me smile).
However, I still personally believe that you are misreading the intent of the original post. It is ambiguous and can be read either way, yes, but since there is usually nothing limiting a sub directory to only holding 10K files, the only parsing of the original post (without an update from the poster) that is left is that there is a requirement that no more than 10K files can be in any folder.
Now, if chuckd clarifies his intent, then I will reconsider my decision. Until that time, the other parsing of the title and question is <spock>highly illogical</spock>. ;-)
Note to chuckd and other future posters - please re-read your posts and clarify them (with updates noted) if others are not clear on your question.
