When creating a rc block at admin/config/relevant_content/blocks, the block delta is limited to 12 characters, although the database schema allows for 32. Is there a reason for that limitation?

I think the original reason was simply a UI/Usability thing. There is no practical reason for it not to be 32 characters (in fact, had I been writing the module now, I would have made it 32 characters).

In the new schema (with a new settings API), the ID (block delta) is now up to 255 characters.
