Description:

With d16c637 a display name length limit of 100 characters was introduced.

Unfortunately this breaks our (Raiden Network) (admittedly unorthodox) use of the display name field as a way to publish ECDSA (recoverable) signatures.

Hex encoded those take up 132 chars.

We could switch to base64 encoding (which would just fit) or (mis-)use the avatar_url field but both of those would be backwards incompatible changes at our protocol level which we would like to avoid if possible.

So the question is: Is there a possibility of having this length restriction increased (to say 256) or better yet be made configurable?
