I’m thinking SHOULD NOT. Everyone phased out 1024-bit RSA signatures a few 
years ago. It can be argued that 1024-bit key agreement is worse than 1024-bit 
signatures, because if the attacker will be able to crack 1024-bit RSA or DH in 
2018, then they can break any IKE that they recorded today that uses the 
1024-bit MODP group. OTOH knowing how to break 1024-bit RSA in 2018 doesn’t 
help them impersonate anyone today, so a safety margin seems more important for 
D-H than for signatures.
