For quite some time.  I believe the max table size of 32 TB was in effect 
as far back as 6.5 or so.  It's not some new thing.  Now, the 8k row 
barrier was broken with 7.1.  I personally found the 8k row size barrier 
to be a bigger problem back then.  And 7.1 broke that in 2001, almost 
exactly four years ago.  6.5 came out in 1999-06-09, so the limit to table 
sizes was gone a very long time ago.
