Speaking of which, wasn't their going to be a new comaintainer at one point

What do you think of checking for exactly SZ_4K (the only actually used
incorrect value) and still being picky about other sizes <8K?

"don't match"  or "do not match".

In general we should prefer not to split string literally in the middle of
sentences, so grep still works. I think we can tolerate the long lines in
such cases.

Any size >= 8KB ought to be ok, no?

We could clamp to 8KB if we were worried about what is in the rest.

"should both be" ?
