In 2015, I had a part time job managing some parts of my University’s IT. We still had 2 Sparc64 build servers that were like 15 years old and had a dual socket MB with 2 physical CPUs and 2 GB of RAM. Top of the line when it came out. It took like 10 seconds for ls to run. Most infra had moved to x86_64 CentOS machines (from Sun Microsystems still, so like 10 years old), but we were still routinely building updated dovecot packages for the Sparc64 machines managing internal email.
Is there any good reason to limit a text field like that these days? Although, UCAS probably still rocking a System/360…
