a thought on the 6-char limit

[Henry Spencer]

> I vote for longer IDs.  Six is off by at least a factor of two.

As I've mentioned before, there are only two good numbers:  six and
infinity.  Setting a larger fixed limit makes no sense, because most
of the people who can't deliver full flexnames can't deliver a limit
larger than six either.
