Description

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

Research direction

Check how key sizes are currently described, then add a recommendation to limit the signing subkey to 2048 where appropriate. Done means the relevant documentation clearly includes this recommendation and its motivation.
