Hi! I'm the quasi-official FAQ maintainer. You can read the current
text of the FAQ at:
https://github.com/rjhansen/gpgfaq/blob/master/gpgfaq.xml
Excerpting from it:
Q: How large should my key be?
A: The overwhelming majority of users will be well-served
by generating 2048-bit RSA keys. This is the default
behavior for GnuPG.
Although we appreciate your patch for the FAQ, it would probably be
better to submit a patch against the in-development FAQ as opposed to
the old one, which is no longer being maintained. :)
