Kireeti,

  What about existing implementations?

Is this unnecessarily limiting? Shouldn't we support MPLS over
L2 technologies that support larger than 64k MTUs?

I'm happy to do so, but I'm not aware of any L2 technology that
supports MTUs greater than 64K.  But if no one objects, this field can
be made 32 bits, assuming that that's big enough :-)
