You've got that exactly reversed, it's not "DHE is breaking Java handshakes",
it's "(Sun/Oracle's) Java is breaking DHE handshakes".  Their Java's broken
handling of DLP key sizes has been a known problem for years (and years, and
years, and years).  First Sun and then Oracle have chosen to ignore the
problem despite repeated complaints by users over a long period of time.  It
is not the IETF's job to fix a particular vendor's broken, buggy code.

>I just want DHE to diediedie.

I just want Sun/Oracle Java's broken handling of this to diediedie.  Let's see
which one happens first.
