Even if this is true, it does not work out of the box.  Is it the intent to
make it harder (non-obvious and complicated) to do things that people want to
do and are trivial on all other OSes?  Remember, this used to work
trivially...it's a regression.

If the only excuse for the limit is that some devices don't like large
transfers, I don't buy it.  Those devices should be the exception, not the
rule.
