It annoys me when I hear people talk about this. :) IMO, it's the sort of thing that tends to get parroted by people who haven't thought things through. When people talk about key length and say "so I'm good for twenty years," I wince. Because they also need to be talking about the rather extreme measures they'll also need to take to ensure their private key is never compromised, they're able to read their data, the data is preserved, the certificate is preserved, etcetera, for a 20-year period. When talking about anything past about a five-year window, you really need to spend more time thinking about the data archiving problem than you do about cryptography.
