So what? Is 4096 so large that the poor kernel can't handle it?
Anyway. My bitter point is, that your answer along with many others
does not make it constructive but tries to offend ( MS, bad decisions,
etc..). It might be a bad decision and might be not - and since you're not
a spokesman for the freebsd project, your "why" might be as well irrelevant as mine.
Ted Mittelstaedt in his response to this subject gave good
reason against the change, and although I'm not quite satisfied,
I agree to his reasons - but not to yours.
