Big Inch Smallblock

Just a question since this has come back up. What has happened to the old adage that you don't spin a long stroke engine very high? Has that been thrown out the window with modern technology, or are you boys with big inch small blocks just doin it anyway? I always understood the longer the stroke got, the more high RPM was possibly limited. Is that a thing of the past now?
Max effort the quality of parts is pushing very high piston speed speeds previously thought impossible, as for more average guy type parts my guess is that time has probably shown that they can spin higher than previously thought, kind of like cast cranks back in the day they thought to have very low power capability now today people build fairly built engines on them.
