Where does the 2GB restriction come from, and are people working to
   remove it?

It comes from the fact that we allocate the whole file-system into
memory, and 80x86 can only map 2GB to memory.  Ogi sent an alpha-patch
that is a start for removing that limit (search the mailing-list
archives if you want it).
