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).
