FWIW, the .ZA chronology is roughly (survey starts 2017-10-19, and
the keys seen at that time may date back considerably further):

     flags | alg | bits | first seen | last seen
     ------+-----+------+------------+------------
       256 |   8 | 1024 | < 2017-10  |
       256 |   8 | 1024 | < 2017-10  |
       256 |   8 | 1024 | < 2017-10  | 2018-01-17
       256 |   8 | 1024 | 2018-01-25 |
       256 |   8 | 1024 | 2018-02-08 |
       256 |   8 | 1024 | 2018-06-10 |
       256 |   8 | 1024 | 2019-08-09 |

     flags | alg | bits | first seen | last seen
     ------+-----+------+------------+------------
       257 |   8 | 2048 | < 2017-10  |
       257 |   8 | 2048 | < 2017-10  |
       257 |   8 | 2048 | < 2017-10  |
       257 |   8 | 2048 | 2018-02-08 |
       257 |   8 | 2048 | 2019-08-09 |

Which shows gradual accumulation of newer keys, mostly without
retirement of older keys.
