Why must we be limited to six desk accessory slots?

Some bozo hard codes the number '6' in somewhere and we all get stuck
juggling DAs for all time.

If future ROMs remove the arbitrary 40 folder limit, and the arbitrary
n Malloc block limit, could they also remove the arbitrary six DA limit?
(I know that resource files only come with six slots, but there must be
some way to munge resource trees upon loading to conform to however
many DAs are loaded.
