Our differences of opinion seem to be here:

1.  You presume bandwidth and storage media will not keep pace over five
to ten years.  I disagree.

2.  You believe that if storage media do not keep pace, it will be
impractical to break backups across multiple media.  I disagree.

3.  You believe that it is somehow wasteful to keep old keys around,
and/or there is no good cause to keep them around.  I disagree.

4.  You believe these preceding points constitute an urgent problem
needing immediate attention.  I disagree.


I don't see there to be anything further to talk about.  You are certainly
entitled to your views: you're just not entitled to have me take them
seriously.
