I suppose that upload and password fields may be special cases.

However,  it seems to me that 512 default is way too big for normal
string fields.   Why so big?  Have space considerations become
irrelevant?

In my apps 90% of strings are less than 128.  As field sizes can
always be increased,  why not 128 or even 256 for now and simply
increase when necessary?
