Block metadata goes up to 15. That's quite restrictive when you compare it to items which can go up to nearly infinity. Adding unlimited metadata would enable people to create awesome creative builds as well as enable the easy addition of new slabs, stairs, trees, leaves and much, much more.
Using CTM, people can have dirt:5 be icy dirt, dirt:77 be jungly dirt and dirt:994 be muddy dirt. This opens up millions of new opportunities with texturepacks.
this is easier said than done
and even though I can't for the life of me remember the actual reason its restricted to 16, trust me when I say there was a very good reason for it
infinite metadata isn't really key for me, but I will say yes to 8 bits of storage instead of 4, 256 states is really drastically overkill for anything one would consider; but it's certainly not as limited as 16 states.
