Initially it was that we had the "systemd" udev tag on all VCs, which made them appear as .device units in systemd, and I really didn't want 63 of them. Then, some of the VC ioctls have a 16bit bitmap, which makes the higher VCs not as accesible. Mostly it's now though that the concept of having that many VCs is kinda crazy... What's your usecase for this?
