is there anything in hardware preventing the implementation of "Data Length Extension" in the current hardware?

[Peter Myerscough-Jackopson]

Bluetooth v4.2 included an ability for attributes to be greater than 20 bytes of payload data long. Is there anything in the nrf51822 hardware that would prevent this from being implemented at some stage in a later SoftDevice?

The nRF51822 supports packages of a length up to 254 bytes of length. So with regard to HW there's no limitation on implementing this.

Thank you for your answer this makes me hopeful that a SoftDevice may appear supporting v4.2 of the standard.
