Re: On PATH_MAX

[Alfred M\. Szmidt]

   But you aren't thinking about the big picture. PATH_MAX growth is
   *very* rare, and it is almost always the result of a change in a
   single program. The rest of the world, in practice, can almost
   always wait for the next release cycle.

Thats what they said about 2 digit years, 8 char passwords, 8.3 long
filenames, etc etc.
