Default Ready Boost Flash Drive 4 gb from 8 gb Drive

While I realize that the following question depends upon nothing more than
pure speculation, I thought I would ask anyway:

Any chance that future service packs for Windows Vista will include changes
to the 4 GB limitation on ReadyBoost? Possibly boosting its capacity to 8 GB
or perhaps even 12 GB?

Hello,
I am using Vista 64 Home Premium with 8 gb ddr2 ram. I use an 8 gb flash
drive formatted NTSF. The Readyboost cash is limitted to 4090 bytes.
Why?
Should I be able to use the full 8 gb?

Readyboost is aimed at systems which have a 1gb or less RAM, so you are
wasting a flash drive using it to boost an 8gb system..
