socket path length

[Damian Ivanov]

Hello everyone and Happy holidays!

Some applications (like gnome-boxes) rely on socket path
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes/issues/267

A lot of flatpaks as well (filled report here
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/3336 )

If an organizations username structure is
firstname.lastname(a)organization.org for example my username (more than
one first name, not to mentioned that in some regions middle-name's
are used as well) would be 42 characters which exceeds the limit (17)
mentioned in the gnome BR.

I could not find any information if having the socket length limited
is still something that is required nowadays as it seems this is
mostly for compatibility reasons?

Do you think that this us something that could/should/would be changed
nowadays as a config option?

Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Damian
