> Why did the size change from 255 to 191?

After a conversation on IRC with tcohen:
A lot of fields are shrunk from 255 to 191. This is because
index size for VARCHAR on InnoDB has a max size, in bytes, of 767 bytes (or
similar) and utf8 uses 3 bytes for each char, and utf8mb4, 4.
767/3 > 255. but 767/4 > 191.

Gain functionality (necessary for true unicode), lose space (not an issue yet).
