I'm almost sure the backstory to how you gained this knowledge is "i spent hours debugging something, and that 15 chars limit was the problem"
Yep exactly! Setting up a raspberry pi low-performance computing cluster with secondary usb nics, going slowly insane trying to figure out why the vlan interfaces wouldn't work when their base interfaces worked just fine, and going down all of the wrong rabbit holes along the way.
And all that just because someone decided that an array bigger that 16 bytes would have been too expensive (/s probably)
