I don't see why we should bother to soft fork this out on the basis of
security, given that there are many other ways to insecurely use private ke=
ys
(e.g. reused nonces). Maybe soft-fork it out on the basis of code complexit=
y,
but this sounds like a lot of work.

Also, I have to wonder if it's just as likely the devs might think the
non-standardness means it is secure.
