NIST SP 800-57 Part 1, on which the current group size selection code
is based, puts a 4k group at a little over 128 bits of security. This
is why we generate larger groups (and request them, when using 192 and
256 bit ciphers).

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
