It is reasonable to choose to protect a secret for the rest of one's life 
(~100 years). In fact, I see no reason why that shouldn't be the default 
security level for everybody's personal use. That would require RSA 16,384 
or more, according to RSA. Since that key size is impractically large for 
several interesting exchange technologies (e.g. 2D barcodes), that means we 
need to migrate to something else like ECC.
