Well... From the author himself:
"If an estimate is greater than 5-7 Pomodoros, this means that the activity in
question is too complex. It’s better to break it down into several
activities; estimate these activities separately, and write them down on
several lines in the Activity Inventory. The rule is: If It Takes More Than 5-7
Pomodoros, Break It Down."

So therefore is an enforced rule in Pomodairo.

In the normal case I would agree, but there are exceptions to the rule or
should I say task in this context.
Maybe a compromise is in order, in the configuration settings have a checkbox
control to allow the user to deliberately allow estimates of tasks to be larger
than 5-7 Pomodoros, maybe even popup an warning dialog to confirm that they
really sure they want to do this, as it is breaking/bending one of the rules of
the Pomodoro System.

I also want this feature. I am already breaking the Pomodaro rules by following
Merlin Mann's 10+2*5 hack
(http://www.43folders.com/2005/10/11/procrastination-hack-1025) so my
"pomodairos" are only 10 minutes long which means I can't estimate a project to
take much longer than an hour. I think devx's compromise would work, a pop-up
saying that I'm doing it wrong (which I'm aware of) if I try to pick something
higher than 7.
Thanks!
