To be fair, the issues surrounding RSA encryption are different ones
than the ones about RSA signatures.
We already agreed to deprecate RSA encryption entirely. Therefore DROWN
is irrelevant for the discussion here.

(What causes often confusion is that Daniel Bleichenbacher is
responsible for *two* major and completely unrelated attacks against
RSA PKCS #1 1.5, one against encryption and one against - badly
implemented - signatures)
