Too often in the history of computers arbitrary limits have been set with the assumption that they would never be reached only to be reached and exceeded, by a lot. ie RAM, HD, optical disk size, network speeds, network nodes and so on. But USB is different in that even if one could hook up 127 devices and get practical use out of them it's just not likely to be done outside of a lab or something similar.
Yep, limits to be exceeded. Did anybody remember who said, a few years ago, that nobody would ever need more than 640KB in a computer? ;-)
Or 2,4, 120 Gb. We still haven't run into 200Tb (well at least most of us haven't).
