We need to do a thorough investigation of breakages caused by increasing the minimum RSA key size in FreeBL and Softoken before we commit to an increase. The change to a 1023 bit limit in Bug 1767883 broke one test in M-C, and there's evidence (e.g. Bug 1172128 and this comment that we're going to run into other problems.

re: bug 1172128, I was going to say that the bug was 8 years ago and we reverted them back later, but that's not the case. Given that I'm fine with reverting the change generally. It seems like we should move it up to 512 at any rate, but my patch to the tests should handle simple reversion.

One question is the M-C case you refer to, it would be nice to look at the case. Fortunately policy is a reasonable backstop.
