We use x2go on the local network and security is not as important as the
convenience of users. In my opinion, it would be possible to give an
opportunity to choose between security and convenience.
By doing so you weaken security for sites providing this capability.

I explicitly decided against that. For more information and the
rationale for
this change, refer to the release announcement:
http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-announcements/2017/000302.html
The release announcement talks about 2048-bit keys being generated
while this indicates that even stronger keys are being used (which in
turn increases the time to create them). I think for slow clients this
is too much. At least the admin should be able to decide about the
required security, not the maintainer.
So what about staying as is by default but providing a possibility to
pre-generate keys for those connections.
