Quoting Athanasios Velios <a.velios@gmail.com>:
Hello,
I am a little confused with the limitation of 9 generations in the hierarchies of book structure in D6. Such limitation did not exist in D5 and relevant discussions have taken place here:

Personally I think it is not reasonable to assume that every drupal website will require less than 10 generations in a hierarchical structure and I would like to know what your opinions on this are.
As far as I can see, there are two arguments for limiting the number of generations:
1) Hierarchies without limits can be built with the Taxonomy module. 2) Speed when building the menu.
For outlining I like to use the node relativity module [1]. It allows you to bind other nodes or create new nodes as children of a parent node. The UI of the node display provides a menu of the children and parents. A node can be a child of more than one parent.
