vSAN VMDK Size Limit

Hello all.  Can anyone confirm that the largest VMDK support by vSAN is 2 TB?  Is this going to increase in vSpher 6?  Thank you.

According to http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere5/r55/vsphere-55-configuration-maximums.pdf the maximum virtual dis size is 2,032GB, i.e. the maximum that still allows to create snapshots. Some new features of VSAN have been announced, but nothing about an increased virtual disk size so far (see e.g. http://www.yellow-bricks.com/category/vsan-2/)
