The GNU Coding standards say: Avoid arbitrary limits (<https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Semantics.html>. That was one of the great inspirations for me for wanting to learn much more about GNU. Similarly, GNU LilyPond was designed--other than all other music softwares in the day--to not have arbitrary limits. If you are running a distribution such as GNU Guix or NixOS, you may even have run into file name limits. It often surprises (saddens?) me how few people in the free software community actually read (or remembered) the GNU standards.
