128Mb Swap limit?

The 1.2 Docs specify that you shouldn't create a swap space > 128Mb

        Bottom of 5.9 Reads:

        "As a general rule (if you are not certain how much swap space
        to allocate), double th amount of physical RAM, but not that
        the swap partition should not exceed 128 MB (even with more
        than 64 MB) if you have 32 megs of RAM, 64 MB of swap is
        recommended."

Why this limitation? I've got >256Mb RAM, seem silly to have a swap
space < size of RAM. Is this a SW limitation of YDL?

thanks!
