I would agree with Dirk on this. 
I can't see a compelling use case for SSID's larger than -15 and at
least we know that all the diverse clusters nodes, cruft, etc connected
to the network will behave as it currently does with AX25 permitted
SSID's 

There is a risk that allowing extended SSID's might have unintended
consequences somewhere else on the network if it arrives at something
that can't correctly deal with extended ssid's .
