No, not quite. One time I asked Ned Freed why the Oracle MTA he supported, which is widely used in corporate systems, enforced those limits. He told me that it was heavily threaded and the storage allocator used fixed size chunks, which makes sense. He also didn't think that enforcing the limits was much of a problem for the mail recipients wanted to receive. So like I said, if it's easy to allow longer lengths, sure, go ahead, but don't count on it when you're sending to other people.
