The <keygen> tag is a bit of a mess when it comes to support, so it would be quite a useful addition.

<keygen> is being deprecated: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/26

-1. People shouldn't be using at this stage for numerous issues listed in Chrome's intent to deprecate. Our internal data from web crawls show that in the wild it is almost never used.

+1 I think even if it's going to deprecated or never going to use is not a good cause to not showing the support of the type. People are using caniuse for checking how much support the type gets. Showing the deprecation status in the results of caniuse is the best way to let people know about the issue.

+1 for visibility.

https://webkit.org/blog/7093/release-notes-for-safari-technology-preview-19/:

Changed the keygen element to require 2048 or higher RSA key lengths

EDIT:

Removed in Chrome 57: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/02/chrome-57-deprecations

EDIT2, 2018-01-09:

Removed in HTML 5.2: https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/changes.html#changes

+1 because I just went to search for it, which means probably other people did too? For reference, I found out about it because it's part of the Solid spec: https://github.com/solid/solid

If it's deprecated in Chrome, that just makes it all the easier to track. :-P

+1 for increasing awareness about deprecation and pointing people to alternatives.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/69:

The HTML <keygen> element has been removed from Firefox. It was deprecated some time ago, and its purpose has generally been supplanted by other technologies (bug 1315460).

Now available at https://caniuse.com/#feat=mdn-html_elements_keygen though looks like that data may need updating if Chrome's support was removed...
