Current 4k limit is definitely causing errors, the users are not aware of 
it, because it is not intuitive.

I don't see why increasing the limit to 2 GB which is something that we 
will hardly ever hit is worse than current status which causes actual 
issues.

Are you against increasing the limit?

Do you want to increase the limit to UINT_MAX (the AVBprint 
implementation limit) instead of INT_MAX?

Or do you have some other suggestion?

Thanks,
