Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 Application size limits

Question

Is there any information available regarding application (xap) size limits for

Windows Phone 7 = 225MB
Windows Phone 7.8 = 225MB?
Windows 8 (Metro)
Windows Phone 8

To be clear the first requirements allow 400MB apps http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2010/10/29/updated-version-of-windows-phone-7-application-certification-requirements.aspx — Lukasz Madon, Jul 24 '12 at 00:11
BTW. Do you have a scenario when your app will be bigger than 255MB? — Lukasz Madon, Jul 24 '12 at 00:25

The size limit for a Windows Phone 8 is 1GB according to 4.1.1 of the app submission requirements, found here. This was last updated a week ago (Dec 12, 2012). Nothing was specifically mentioned for WP7.8, so I assume it's still 225MB.

The size limit for a Windows 8 Metro style app package is 2GB. See Package Format Requirements. I do not believe there are any details out there yet about Phone 7.8 or Phone 8 in terms of XAP size.
