"V3 keys are deprecated. They contain three weaknesses. First, it is
relatively easy to construct a V3 key that has the same Key ID as any
other key because the Key ID is simply the low 64 bits of the public
modulus."
I had forgotten about that, but it probably also explains the two
pre-2000 keys with small factors I found.
