Like who? It seems like a completely silly idea. And if 2K is sane,
why not much more?
(I can't say that s/100/2048/ in one place is a particularly evil change;
what bothers me is the likelihood that there are other places that won't
cope with arbitrarily long passwords. Not all of them are necessarily
under our control, either.)
