Default clutch break-in?

I was wondering, when breaking-in a clutch, what is the max rpm one can push the car to?

you can redline with it engaged, but you dont want to power shift. basically you dont want to feather the clutch.

Drive like a grandma for a 1,000 miles. 30,000 miles from now..when you dont have to change the clutch..you'll be glad you drove like a human being for two weeks.
