not having any specific knowledge of wether or not it was disposed of in 2.4, I just did a test, curtosy of /dev/zero and "dd", 3.7GB file I don't know what the limit is anymore, but it's not 2GB

Well, for large files on Intel, you need 2.4.x (or 2.2 with LFS patches) plus a reasonably recent glibc, plus utilities compiled properly.
So you're generally right, but there are some caveats.
