When I first saw this thread I thought "yeah, that's a low limit", but now I'm not so sure.
The truth is, up until a few days ago when this thread started, I wasn't even aware that there was a limit.[1] Which means, that for me at least, I have never had the need to exceed the limit. Because, if I had I would have discovered what that limit was.
I'm not an "occasional dual-booting" Linux user, I've been using Linux _exclusively_ since late 1996. In that 7, going on 8 years I have _never_ hit the limit. Does that mean that it is high enough? For me, yes. For others, I can't say.
Footnotes: [1] Not quite true, I knew that there probably was some sort of limit, I just didn't know what it was.
