Hi, If someone or a group is considering a change to a larger key such as a 4096 bit key, it is a personal choice. It does not mean that the defaults are not sensible. There have been several discussions about using 4096 bits instead of 2048 bit keys over the years. Reading those threads may help. HTH.
