The most important aspect is that last one: the internal storage of the
user list is not efficient at the moment so at some point adding more
users will impact the speed at which the stack can process packets and
the USM implementation will become the most limiting factor.

It's one of those things that was done the way it is and was intended to
be rewritten at a later date but never was.
