Never ever interested. ;)

To address Martin Rex's point, however, we would not need to know
whether the draft's editors were ever interested, but whether it is
technically possible.  This seems like a good (and so far unanswered)
question.

The usage of GOST R 34.10-94 is fully prohibited starting 1 of January 2008.

Certainly, this prohibition is irrelevant.  We are not offering
technical interoperation documents _for a particular legal framework_,
but technical interoperation documents _for the Internet_.  The
documents must therefore assume that, if someone can come up with a
bad idea that is nevertheless consistent with the document in
question, someone will.  (If you doubt this, please examine the
Internet -- pretty much any part of it you like -- more carefully.)

So I think Martin's question is appropriate, and his suggestion
up-thread to be a good one.  The more specific the document can be
made, the better for all concerned.
