 From my opinion, we shouldn't go past the 4GiB magic boundary as far as 
the official Fedora Project releases are concerned, even though we can 
(once the patch to livecd-tools works). Maybe we should take this up for 
a vote, and maybe if we vote positively we need to take it up with FESCo 
see what they think. Or we take it up with FESCo right-away, I don't know.

Having the patch in livecd-tools though, as far as I'm concerned, helps 
downstream consumers that choose to go oversized, so the effort should 
definitely continue ;-)

Kind regards,
