I suggest doing it right now because this work would not have to be done 
for the next OpenPGP standard version any more. A notation-based 
solution would not be part of the next standard.

Who cares? Obviously not the average user who turns to 4096 bit keys 
now... In case there are applications which need to avoid this a 
configuration option might be introduced which avoids the additional 
subpacket.
