Yes, it is. The ircd uses ident reply for the username part in
WHOIS in the first place. For logging purposes it hasn't be seen
as necessary to prepare for the worst case.

I personally don't want so long idents to be logged in my files.
So far I have manually checked few longer idents if I have needed
them. You can do that by checking port numbers on each end, and
telnetting to the ident port of remote host from your server host,
and feed the port numbers separated by comma. (rfc1413)
