Why is there a hardcoded limit for the AXI-Lite Interfaces? #1433

My model requires a few AXI-Lite interfaces because runtime weights are enabled. However, an error was asserted by a .tcl file while generating the bitfile:

"Maximum 10 AXI-Lite interfaces supported"

This limit is hardcoded in this file: "finn/src/transformation/fpgaflow/templates.py", which creates the .tcl file:

if {$NUM_AXILITE > 9} {
error "Maximum 10 AXI-Lite interfaces supported"
}

However, when I increase the limit to 15, for example, the bit file is generated and everything works as expected. So, my question is, why is this limit there?
