The OwnerId field within a namespace node is 8 bits, and this is the main constraint on the maximum OwnerId. You can't simply bump up the number of owner ids without changing this field. If we need more than 255 owner Ids, the width of this field will have to be increased, or we will need to use a pointer for the field in order to maintain a linked list of all nodes owned by a particular owner.
