Nobody sane would *ever* argue for 16kB+ blocksizes in general.

Well, not so sure about that. What if one of your expected uses for example is video data storage -- lots of data, especially for multiple streams, and needs still relatively fast machinery. Why would you care for the overhead af _small_ blocks?

Okay, maybe that's covered in the "in general" but its not extremely oddball either...
