If you are willing to accept that in all likelihood, one year from now, some group will announce that can "crack" all key exchanges that using the published modulus, then sure, call it sufficient.
Sounds like someone just threw down a gauntlet.
Is it even possible to do the precomputations in a distributed manner in less than a year or two?
I would guess that it probably is. However, there is no point in trying to do this yet since I suspect that Phil and Bill can be convinced that its a bad idea to specify a 512 bit modulus. Perry
