Now that's a good question! I did some digging and finally found the
revision in which that line was added:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/1914 by Tim, dating
back to November 2003. Tim might know why that limitation is there, although
the code is ooooooold -- I don't think anyone has objections to making the
limit configurable at least (but correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks and regards,
