You can hear one now.

Answers that agree or disagree would be good

The proposed change is based on the existence of quantum computers that have a sufficient number of properly-interacting qbits. We have literally no idea if those computers will ever exist. All current data indicates that we will see the progressing of "sufficient number" and "properly-interacting" and be able to increase key sizes well ahead of widespread use of quantum computers.
