I wholeheartedly agree. Especially given the benefit of large folios, increasing the base page size beyond 64k has enough downsides without compelling upsides that can't be achieved via other means, I'm highly skeptical that page sizes > 64k is going to be appealing for most system designers. So trying to design in support for this possibility in fsverrity is not worth it. - Ted
