So... Common pattern:. NSA, it's representatives or affiliates make claims that longer key lengths are unnecessary or have too much of a performance cost.

So... I make the claim again. Let's multiply all key lengths by 10. Ie. 2048 bit RSA becomes 20480 bit RSA.

Who here thinks that's a bad idea? Previously on HN such ideas have been downvoted and comments have been made against them. I wonder, who has it been doing that, and what were their motives?
