This is more of syntactical thing; the actual max number of previously decoded frames that can be referenced is the same.
Yeah, that's based on x265's (and x264's) understanding of refs; I wish they would just build the bframes into the overall number.

What I meant by max out is that even 1080p120 @ L5 can handle up to 16 refs, and the spec only allows 8 L0 refs, so....
