There are always work arounds.  The 8-bit limitation is isn't much of an
issue with simple things like timers or counting.  It is a factor with any
complex arithmetic, like linearization of thermistors, or applying a scale
factor calibration.  Unlike most people, I do a fair amount of analog
processing in the Ocelot.  And I run exponential filters on all analog
inputs to stabilize readings to the LSB.  That can be done in 8-bit land,
but it is certainly not as easy.

Talk about work arounds, after using Motorola/Freescale microcontrollers for
decades, almost everything in the PIC is a work around.
