The correct fix is just to make the field TEXT/BLOB so the length limit is enforced purely in the application. The same goes for log_comment, where last I checked we weren't even doing the maxlength=200 hack. Are there any objections to finally doing this? What's the procedure these days for schema changes? I'd check in something right now, in fact, except that I have to go in like ten minutes.
There's long been a desire to lengthen the edit summary[1] (and log reasons too) - why not do that while the patient is open on the operating table?
