Some people are really eager to postpone everything that sounds 
'reasonable' to 0.6 is released. Maybe it would be a good argument if a 
deadline for 0.6 is set?

Is this problem at all addressed in 0.6? I'm quite surprised by this 
thread because I always was under the impression k and v sizes were 
unbounded. The choice for 256 is also very strange, 255 would have made 
much more sense.
