Sorry, but you are wrong. It was always a limit. Otherwise z/OS would simply take all that it wanted in the LFAREA, which sort of makes it silly to specify anything if it was going to take it anyway. :)
Pre-2.3, if you said 1GB was to be used, that was the MAX. You can see that by issuing the command on older systems to check the allocations. MAX AVAIL=LIMIT. Otherwise we would see astronomical values for the amount available.
