Now I haven't come across any fundamental reason for this, it is just that tblgen does not handle any more. The reason it doesn't is that in the generated code, each feature is a uint64_t entity that is 1 left-shifted by n (where n is the feature's zero-based ordinal number). At my last check, we were at around 58 features. So I did this to avoid blowing past the 64 feature limit for things that can easily be encoded in the C++ portion.

Don't worry about it. Other targets are also running up against this limit, and there is a patchset under review to increase it.
