Comment:

 I've used Git blame to look for the tickets which introduced those limits
 in the `schema.php`

 I’ve searched for the reason to limit the post type to 20 chars and found
 this comment:

 It was `varchar(100)` before. See:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1710

 Looks like the taxonomy part was handled here:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4189

 It was first `varchar(55)` and changed in a different patch on the same
 ticket to `varchar(32)`.
