This may not be so much an argument for IDEA's inclusion as it might be
an argument for data migration.  How long will we support RFC1991?
There are really only two interesting answers: "forever" and "for a while."

If forever, then sure, IDEA support, v3 keys, etc., etc.

If not-forever, then we should start talking about when precisely we'll
stop supporting RFC1991, and how we can help users migrate away.
