There isn't much sense in fixing what isn't broken to appease the will of the crowd...otherwise we'd end up with a Linux kernel. That doesn't sound too appealing now does it? :) Though, I'm not sure increasing it would be such a bad idea --- purely as a matter of convenience as hard drives continually grow in capacity and speed.
