Hash: SHA1

yes but...

key size isn't the direct cause of the problem: SHA-1 is

AIUI the OpenPGP WG assumed that the next generation hash algorithm (and
so the next OpenPGP revision) would be available before SHA-1 was
broken. this is now looking very unlikely.

so, new keys need to be generated using the latest tools with specific
settings (older tools and default settings typically try to force people
into the OpenPGP defaults for compatibility), and everyone (even those
with longer keys) need to upgrade their tools and adjust the settings.

we also need to ensure that we're setting up the infrastructure for an
orderly, measured transition rather than rushing to create a panic.
