No, the plan is to keep logical sector sizes at 512 for compatibility. And IIRC, ATAPI gives the physical sector size as a multiple of the logical. > ...when using a regular file (init_file), sector_size is set > to PED_SECTOR_SIZE_DEFAULT unconditionally, regardless of the > underlying file system block size.

But beware, I don't know how well stuff currently works with block sizes (be they physical or logical) != 512. Especially the msdos label format isn't going to take it.
