Well, I'm pretty sure if GnuPG had the limit you suggest (2048) it would be 
legally unusable for some purposes, due to legal guidelines, "best 
practices", and all that tosh. Now you can say those things are misguided, 
but if they make it impossible to use GnuPG they're a real-world need just 
as the man page is. I don't know of any of these policies that require keys 
longer than 4096, but I wouldn't discard the possibility, certainly not in 
the future.
