Very reasonable. With micro-service style applications becoming more and more popular starting at a flat even 8000 gives us at least 80 before reaching 8080 :).

I went with 8000 because 8000 has the least amount of zeros to still be associated to port 80 and be above port 1024 to avoid permission issues.

Or the less scientific reason (and the real reason I went with it) is because when you pronounce it out loud you can pronounce it like Leonidas screams "This is Spartaaaaaaaaa!".

So now you have an excuse to scream "eight thousaaaaaaaaand!". It's the only thing I think of now whenever I read or write port 8000 and it makes me internally smile every time.
