Michael, With the current usages, you're right, there's absolutely no use for it. And there would need to be a different end-to-end protocol to support such messages. But we thought it was best to leave the fields large enough to support it in the future.
We intend to add an explicit maximum message size to the overlay config file to make absolutely sure it doesn't happen. Should be in the next update (hopefully soon).
