Yes, that's indeed how it is.

While the maintainer does not seem very comprehensive, posting this bug report here is passive aggressive behavior at its best. What do you expect of the discussion here that could not be more productive there?

I upvoted it because the discussion here might make other maintainers of software aware of how their attitudes are seen by others.

But on this one, is it documented? There are lots of valid reasons to make a tradeoff like this. If you've made it, and put up big warnings about it, then failure to respond to those bug reports is quite reasonable.

It looks like it's a datatype limit, as other python json libraries have a similar issue:

It's probably not a trivial fix/addition and might end up costing the library some of it's speed.
