Concerning AssemblyVersion

I'm just curious why the fields of an AssemblyVersionAttribute are limited to
65534.

Why have such a low limit? short.MaxValue-1 seems unnecessarily limiting,
why not int.MaxValue or long.MaxValue or, even better, decimal.MaxValue?

It seems to me the framework should allow me to set whatever number I want
within the range of integers it supports.
 
AssemblyVersionAttribute class has version as its property.
and version consists of Major.Minor.Build.Revision. so In a real world
scenario
we can have 65534*65534*65534*65534 these many combinations of assembly
versions. IMO, these many revisions will never be utilized.

I know all that. That doesn't answer my question.

Well with that kind of range it's simply unnescesary to use bigger
numbers. Why would you need even more space?
