Whilst I do not like that kind of arbitrary limit, I don't think it's
critically important (let alone good) to have absurdly long lines in inittab.
If you need to do something that doesn't fit in 127 bytes on its command line,
you might just as well write a wrapper, and call that fron inittab. Helps
keeping things tidy - but that's personal preference of course.
