acee,

why should we give an upper boundary on things which
- might be subject to change and
- which have a historic track record of being underestimated.

the 'per-link' admin-groups serve as a good example here:
initially conceived as "you won't ever need more than 32" we have
now arrived at a variable length (unbounded) extension.

for a humorous take to it, have a look at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1925
rule (9) and (10)
