I guess there's sometimes value in those die-die-die RFCs. Given that
we have RFC7525/BCP195 [1] that already has a SHOULD NOT for effective
key sizes less than 128 bits, one could argue that the IETF has covered
that to a reasonable extent, in terms of RFCs saying to not do that.

But, if there was general support for such a draft, I'd be fine with
figuring out how to help get it done.

Cheers,
S.
