How is this a factor if the limit exists only at the database level and is not 
enforced or considered in Django code? Django code already creates values that 
are too long for the fields. You would just eliminate this bug on new 
installations. In the case of usernames and email addresses, the limit was 
enforced in Django code, so increasing the field length could break existing 
installations since we can't do automatic schema migrations. But in this case, 
things already break since Django does not care about the field length.

Cheers,
Stephan
