128MB Swap-Space Limit

Hello all.

Is there any deeper reason, why a single swap-space is limited to 128MB (on
i386)? From my understanding of the kernel-source and initial testing (I have
a dual P2 under 2.1.115 with a single 500MB swap-space running fine) it is
rather trivial to increase the limit to an arbitrary size. So my question is,
why hasn't anybody done this already?
