I'm always of the belief that if one person wants a feature, they might be the only vocal person, but they are never really alone, so post your patch, Timo can only either pull it in, or decline it, as for its useful for others, only time will tell, but not even god will help those who use it on a commercial network with paying customers - thats just plain professional suicide.
Unless it was clearly stated what the requirements are when they sign up. With NIST sleeping at the helm and the NSA having a field day it would not surprise me if businesses understand the importance of stronger encryption.
Yeah, but you wont have many customers, or keep them if you inflict that much pain, I'm well known for being pretty anal about security policies, but not even I would contemplate that on a commercial (isp/web-host) scale, on corporate LAN, there will also always be one who wont support it, and its likely going to be the CEO's mobile device hah.
Which reminds me, if the OP is interested in knowing how many and who wants it, they could always email the NSA ans GCHQ, if your American, Brittish, or your data traverses the US or UK, they I'm sure will have a record of who ;)
Cheers
