Post length limit for Code Reviews questions and answers
How long should a Code Reviews question be? Currently the post length limit is 30,000 for all Codidact posts. If that were configurable per category, would you want to allow Code Reviews questions longer than this? What about answers, that might quote significant portions of the code from the question, and also include example changes to that code? I ask because [Post body too long but not too long?](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/296432) was raised following attempting to post a Code Reviews question of length just over 29,000, showing that there is at least one real example approaching the current limit.
