A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Really? why wasn't this in a main rules changes.
I went about looking in the War of Honor rules and the legacy Format rules (as linked on the main page *unfortunately it seems the search feature is bloken* ) and could not find any mention of it specifically in legacy.
So it can be expected that if one was playing extended legality (often seen in The old "Utaku plains" used to specify that it could not be taken over 5 PH, this was only removed when the rule was added (that reason specifically given in the errata section of the rules here:http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Rulings_T#The_Utaku_Plains ).
Can we assume that text isn't reinstated with the removal of Maximum personal honor? Thus both the stronghold (and paired with another bonus like Utaku Yu-Pan) will be more than able to bump battle maidens into 6 or higher? (I want to double-check before I tell the battle maiden fans in my area the limit is lifted and let them start breaking our WoH games)

Currently, that is the case. No more maximum to PH unless the card effect itself states it. Sorry we missed it in the "EE Rules Changes"; it wasn't the only thing that slipped through without fanfare.
In the future and as always, we'll certainly do our best keep you updated if any Rules, War of Honor or otherwise, change once more.
