My 2 cents. Usually motd.txt is sent through the UDP-gamechannel. If its to large it will probably flood the modemuser and make him disconnect. So its probably just a legacy today, since most of the gamers now have faster connections than for 5 years ago. And since it hae been working fine before, why change it?
