OK, who goes around bothering to actually generate custom DH parameters,
and with what tools, but then does not use a "strong" (Sophie Germain)
prime?
The only weakness I expect to encounter is a deprecated size of e.g.
512, 768 or 1024 bits. Clients can easily detect that and enforce a
floor, but of course still don't get to negotiate a minimum.
Clients also don't get to negotiate the size of the server's RSA public
key, or as you mentioned various other ways for the server to not screw
up.
