What is the reason themes are limited to 15 custom settings?

I find the custom settings in the config json to be very useful, and I got interested to know why there is a 15 custom settings limit in newer versions of ghost (I am pretty sure I did not get warnings previous to version 5.2x for having multiple settings).

Is it a performance issue, or a away to avoid conflicts in the config file, or just a way to make developers come up with smarter ideas?

I use to have over 30 custom settings with no problems, but I had to hard code a lot of them in my theme because I started to get error messages when making new updates.

(keep up the great work, Ghost team!)

I would be also interested to know the reason.

Would like to know too.

For theme developer it’s a good way to come up with theme for non-developer user to customize blog content easily through config.

Even though they don’t explicitly say it, based on the guidelines, it sounds like custom settings are limited to 20 to avoid abuse
