While the announcement said we could see the authors of comments prior to Monday's, it didn't say the limit would be increased above five.
I hope it is, to perhaps 20 or 50 (or 100?). But there has to be
some limit, or too many system resources would be used up. We only get to view 70 private messages at once, and if the reputation comments were unlimited, that would be an exploitable loophole.
The limit of 5 does seem very measly in the context of those like
ScottC or
Premex who are deluged with
bling. I'll bet Scott never even noticed my eloquent remarks!
