Question about maximum group name length



I noticed that if I try to make a group with a really long name, it doesn't
work. I can, however, create really long usernames. Looking in the source of
the passwd package, I see that usernames are limited by "whatever utmp can
handle", but group names are limited by an arbitrary (max 16) limit. Can I
file this as a wishlist bug?
