In context it might be, but technically no. WAFL comfortably supports file system sizes up into the ~1.4 terabyte range. You may sometimes see a "recommended size" quoted lower, because the author would like you to be thinking through the consequences of your sizing decision (manageability, backup, snapshot scheduling across the data set, etc, etc...), but this type of verbage is usually subjective in nature and just there to guide you.
Thanks for the official clarification here - we were under the assumption that ~1.4 is the current maximum volume size. We try to keep ours under 500GB for backup and recovery purposes.

P.S.: Keith, my cold cleared up eventually but my embarrassment over botching your name hasn't! Hope things are going well up north! =)
