The latest RFC[1] actually specifies this as 256 *octets* with max of 64 octets for the local part and 255 octets for the domain name. So 248 *characters* would actually be incorrect and all the tedious and error prone fixing of every Django instance would just get wasted. I don't really think this is a "fear of change" case. It's more of "we don't want to have to fix this again" thing.
