There's the specific problem that 28 bytes is just too short for some
useful names, especially when some characters take three bytes. (One
place where this always shows up is with ftpfs.) But more generally,
9p is not just about files, since every service presents itself via
9p. Even if humans don't type long names very often they might like
to click on them in acme, and programs might want use long names
without having to go through an extra layer of indirection.
