Because in a number of places in the engine and utilities, people have
made the mistake of using a 32 bit integer as the byte length of the
blob. The result is that larger blobs will be truncated on restore,
fail to work with blob seek operations (on stream blobs) and a half
dozen other annoying things. And yes, this all will be fixed, but I
don't know when.
