We can't even get people off SHA1 to SHA2 "because of lower performance." Somehow I doubt the "1 terrabit RSA key" would go over well with them.

I think there's a much better chance we move off to still slower, but not as slow, quantum-resistant crypto algorithms, than just much larger RSA keys.

So apparently we are going to need quantum processors to generate encryption that is resistant to quantum processors.
GPG even disabled the generation of RSA keys over 4kib.
