Vertex Colors layers limit

Hello dear developers! I'm using vertex color layers for masking purposes which is very handy in my case, but! We can create only 8 layers maximum, please, increase this value at least to 20. I think this is very easy and will not broke anything else in blender... Thank you and have a nice day!

Agree. With new fast and nice system vertex colors become more demanded.

I found even a post where some man downloaded Blender source code, changed the value (he shows what to change) recompile them and tested with 256 Vertex Color Layers)) and he said that there was no issue with this and it works Ok! But recompiling Blender it's a bit to much for Artists...)) P.S.: I can give a link to this post if needed.
