Some lines are too good to have a belay set up at some arbitrary point on the route. The length of a route is often best determined by linking features like ledges etc, not by the supposed standard length of rope. The example you gave is a pretty extreme case Breezy, and there are not all that many crags around that would warrant the use of ropes greater than 60 or 70m (that I know of in Australia anyway) so I don't think we will have to start lugging around 100m cords just yet. 60m+ ropes are definetely the go, I have trimmed the ends off my rope twice now and still have plenty left to do most of the sport routes around here.
