And the rationale was again added when the actual patch to implement it

No, the patch carefully only changes those calls that take a 32-bit
(actually positive "int" byte[]) container in the first place so that
the calling code is consistent and calls to these methods get flagged at
compile time if they provide inconsistent arguments. None of the
arguments that actually are 64-bit were changed of course.
Cheers,
Mark
