255 is the *maximum* limit. You can set it to less than that when you create 
the GDG base, or change it with ALTER. My guess would be that what led to the 
original post was that a bunch of GDG bases were defined with a small limit, 
and then someone decided it should be much larger, and after ALTERing the bases 
to a larger value they wanted to roll the older members back in.
