This page from Netscape:
http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
states that you shouldn't expect clients or severs to deal with cookies over 4k
in size. It even suggests that cookies longer than that should be truncated.
Not sure if there is a relevant RFC that supercede this information.

There's some seriously debatable value in using cookies over 20k in

worthwhile contribution other than a sense of "Gee, do you REALLY want to
hang yourself or your users like this?"

Check out changes.txt, as usual.

While I can't speak for Cadrion *or* Ironflare... I understand Cadrion had
some issues a while back, unrelated to Orion. Check
www.atlassian.com/support/ out; it looks like LITERALLY the same thing.
