No more 8-character limit?

Andy Wokula just uploaded what seems like a useful plugin called
'motpat'. Months from now, there's no way I'd remember 'motpat' comes
from "create MOTion mappings defined by a PATtern".

Can't we all agree that the 8-character limit is absurd at this point?
Are there systems that still have trouble with >8?

To be clear, I'm not picking on his plugin's name in particular -- I've
just wondered for a while why this is still part of
:help write-plugin
which states that 8 characters is "to avoid problems on old Windows
systems".
