Interesting this DSA vs RSA. It looks like openssl folks did a patch in
November 2011 that would fix a bug that showed up when using DSA keys
longer than 1024 (meaning 2048 or 3072 like per FIPS 186-3 from 2009.) But
openssh never caught on, and their ssh-keygen may barf on keys longer than
1024 when built with "with-openssl" configuration (which is the default.)
Also, DSA requires an excellent source of randomness or else techniques
from RFC 6979 are needed, to keep it non-breakable. So openssh decided to
keep life simple and focus on supporting RSA. That seems to be the reason
that Ed your DSA keys are "old."
