Not just a habit, Harbour (and of course hbmk2) also supports

Perhaps it is time to drop support for those limits. I cannot imagine them pertaining to any development environment commonly in use today?

This change would not stop anyone deploying to one of those OS's. The only one I can think of would be DOS. I would say the situation would be similar to cross-compiling for CE, I doubt anyone wants harbour to run on CE, just to deploy harbour apps to it.
