Zachary Ware <zachary.ware at gmail.com> added the comment:

Rather than suggesting an actual number, perhaps we should link to an external resources that covers how to choose the number?

Or we leave it vague and say "The number of iterations should be chosen based on the hash algorithm and computing power; there is no universal recommendation, but hundreds of thousands of iterations may be reasonable."  This avoids bikeshedding a specific number, but still gives a general idea of the magnitude of number involved.
