The problem is apparently kernel structure bloat and that they want
to remove fixed maximum paths altogether so it would be boot
modifiable.

rable-with-Linux-td5864469.html

As laudable as the latter goal is, unfortunately OS X and Linux hard
code theirs, and much POSIX software will use whatever PATH_MAX is
set to. I'm therefore not sure the implementation cost is worth it.

In any case, a 1024 byte path limit is just 256 unicode characters
potentially. That's worse than Windows 95 :(
