Comment (by flixos90):

 Thanks for the ticket and detailed description @jeremyescott!

 I think you make some great points, and the PR looks solid to me.

 The only thing that I'm less sure about is how to deal with the 172
 character limit. Is this because of the database column type and its
 limitations? If so, I think this particular restriction would be better to
 discuss separately for whether we want to enforce it at the code level or
 not, because it applies in several different areas as well. For example,
 options would be subject to such a limit too, but I don't think the code
 enforces that. So I think that particular point would be better to
 discuss/explore separately from this ticket.
