[Bogdan Moldovan]

This is a possible scenario indeed. But this scenario should be handled by
the switches of the telco...

Well they generally like limitations because people sometimes show
questionable judgement.  A forwards to B, B forwards to A.  Call comes in on
either and you rapidly exhaust capacity.  Sometimes its just lack of
knowledge that leads people to do this sometimes they just dont think
beforehand.  

For reasons like these they like to put caps on it, but you can generally
get the caps high enough that if you are forwarding from an analog line it
shouldnt matter (ie if you need 1000 forwards you need to reevaluate how you
are doing this).
