I'd prefer to see the 2048-bit key length limit removed.  Some people
use longer RSA keys (with modified versions of PGP2 that support such
keys), and they should not be arbitrarily prevented from using GnuPG
(or induced to create custom-modified versions of GnuPG).

*NOTE:  I currently use GnuPG for experimental purposes only.  Please
 use one of my PGP 2.6 RSA keys (on my web page) for anything sensitive.
