PGP needs to onboard themselves with Elliptic Curve Crypto... significantly smaller makes them more distributable which solves a few of the problems mentioned.

Most systems should switch from simple multiplicative group crypto to elliptic curve, but it's hard to make an argument that doing that would resolve any of the problems Matt is referring to.
It's in GNUPG 2.1, but it's been in beta forever. Also, at least my smart token can only do RSA. It's disappointing that it's taking this long, but it's not people are throwing money at the GNUPG team.
