With DVDs becoming widely popular for personal data storage, this 2 GB limit will probably become more and more of an issue.
That is what UDF was for created, wasn't it?

That may well be true, but it's not a reason to not support the full file size of iso9660 filesystems.
If my interpretation of the spec is correct, and I believe that it is, then the max file size of an iso9660 filesystem is 4 GB. If it's not the case, then mkisofs should be changed to not support such filesystems. (Ignoring the recent fun with Joerg on LKML)
