Hi.
I'm not entirely convinced here.
* Seems like even the most horrible names leave some headroom by your
report. Is it even necessary?
* Surely most folks use DNS? What's the % of folks using such names as
site records? Not sure we need to impose a change on everyone for that. A
migration isn't zero cost.
* Why 255? That seems a LOT of extra headroom, given that we're not
hitting the limit already, and in other cases we favored "human values"
over values such as 255.
It's the kind of change that needs consensus on the DevelopersMailingList.
