Comment (by timo):
I don't know of CharField limits other than "Any fields that are stored
with VARCHAR column types have their max_length restricted to 255
characters if you are using unique=True for the field." which isn't
applicable here.
Anyway, 255 would allow verbose name's up to 244 characters and is
basically a paragraph of text. I don't think permissions longer than that
would be useful.
Objections?
