>Can't be more than 255 in any field

They can just change the max. It's not that big of a deal.




No, it's one byte per field (except EXTRAVERSION, which is a string). That's part of the userspace ABI, so it can't change without extremely good reason (critical security issue that can't be mitigated in another way).
