Comment (by dd32):

 There have been talks in the past about utilising
 [http://www.plupload.com/docs/Chunking Plupload's Chunking feature] to
 work around hosts with small upload limits.

 It'd certainly be welcome for large Theme / Plugin uploads too (Which
 don't use Plupload at present, but that's a different story).

 Complexity is a worry, but realistically it seems like something that
 could be worked around on most systems:
 - Store uploaded chunks in temporary file that gets appended to
 - Only pass the file into core api's & filters once all the file is
 uploaded, unless someone explicitly asks for it, they never see the
 chunked request components.
