[STR New]

This is a feature request until there is actually a PPD that is affected by
this.

PPD files generally only include those 1284 keys that are needed for
device selection.  Increasing the size means bumping the storage format
and forcing a regeneration of the PPD cache for potentially thousands of
files, so this isn't something we are going to do in a patch release
unless absolutely necessary.
