They get bigger fast.  10 piece tablebase files would be err... vast.  Not to
mention how much memory it would take to compute them.  7 piece files could be
built with techology we have today and stored, but 8 piece files would be so
expensive it will be a long wait before we see them [perhaps 'famous last words'
-- but that's what I think]

It will require a whole new type of technology to hold or create a ten piece
tablebase file.  Some of the 6 piece files Eugene made are too big to fit on a
CD (for a *single* tablebase file -- not a set)
