While I don't disagree with you, I just pulled the text from the ratified spec here:
https://www.ldraw.org/article/299.html
The library 100% enforces a numeric code for all LDConfig definitions and that will never change. In fact, I highly doubt we'll ever define anything above 19999. The 10000 colors were born of an offhand comment of mine as a convenience to avoid collisions. It turns out it's caused at least 2 problems so far. So, oops.
As far a going beyond 32 bit (2147483647) I can confidently say we never will.
