I believe its defined following "Table A.8 – General tier and level limits".
With the assumption there will never be a level 7 (which I think is fair). If
anyone saw other reasons for this limit, let me know.
This is a worse case scenario, this is quite unlikely in practice, so while
performance might be a disaster if your craft a stream for that case, I don't
think it will ever happen in real life.
