	 * The long path may cause trouble due to exceeding the allowed filename length of the filesystem. Therefore, the
	 * preferred solution would be to use the truncated and hashed version as returned at the end of this function.
	 * However, for compatibility reasons, we have to keep the old long version in some cases. Notably, this could lead
	 * to the creation of objects that can't be synced to child nodes if they are running an older version. Thus, for
	 * now, the fix is only enabled for comments and downtimes, as these are the object types for which the issue is
	 * most likely triggered but can't be worked around easily (you'd have to rename the host and/or service in order to
	 * be able to schedule a downtime or add an acknowledgement, which is not feasible) and the impact of not syncing
	 * these objects through the whole cluster is limited. For other object types, we currently prefer to fail the
	 * creation early so that configuration inconsistencies throughout the cluster are avoided.
	 *
	 * TODO: Remove this in v2.16 and truncate all.
