But I still wonder why we should live with such limitation in 21st century.
I would guess because a lot of existing code expects that limitation and is coded to use string functions which check and limit it to that. I guess you would need to basically create a new 'node' type and library calls that programs could switch to talk to these long socket names. [I expect that if we were to look at things that we would find that node names also need to be ASCII and UTF-8 names would also blow up a lot of programs]
