Yes, this is true for some people, and likely it will be more true in
the future.  However, a MUST implement PSS is enough for me.  If it
seems like consensus is against this position, I'll back that all the
way.  However, on the web side of things, we've some experience with
killing stuff that we don't like.  It's not always painless (see
SHA-1), but I'd rather rely on that system than risk holding back 1.3.
