Yay! :)

Well, following Clint's post¹ (which I mentioned in my post), we were
at 611 DSA (1024D) vs. 383 RSA (2048R and higher). With 18 DD keys
mentioned in the post (plus two since then, yay! :) ), we should stand
at 591 vs. 403 (minus some statistical noise - IIRC only one DM became
a DD in this same period).

About a schedule: No, we do not currently have it. We should work on
getting a plan for this. Now, it is not an easy task to get done, and
as we might effectively end up locking out many DDs, I'm thinking (and
I have not yet talked this over in the team, but we should discuss it)
we should get formal support from the project in the form of a GR or
something like that... Of course, that after sketching a real plan
with stages and dates.
