My theory for this is that the beta/ 1.0 forums had extremely heavy traffic due to all of the issues involved being reported and the limit was added there just to help lower the amount they would need to read in a day and now that those are over they just haven't taken the time/effort to remove that.

(Note: I say 1.0 only because i wasn't there and can't be certain that the limit wasn't in effect then too)
