Please fix this very annoying and completely needless regression before the next LTS release.
Yes, the initial NIS spec said the limit was 1024 bytes. But all Linux clients have had the limit set at 64 KB instead since forever. The server still does. It does not make sense to suddenly break clients for no reason at all, especially considering this is an old protocol mostly used in legacy deployments.
