Question about safe primes in gg20

[muji]

The create_safe_primes() function calls generate_h1_h2_N_tilde():

multi-party-ecdsa/src/protocols/multi_party_ecdsa/gg_2020/party_i.rs

Lines 179 to 199 in c94065f

 // we recommend using safe primes if the code is used in production 
 pub fn create_safe_prime(index: usize) -> Self { 
     let u = Scalar::<Secp256k1>::random(); 
     let y = Point::generator() * &u; 
  
     let (ek, dk) = Paillier::keypair_safe_primes().keys(); 
     let (N_tilde, h1, h2, xhi, xhi_inv) = generate_h1_h2_N_tilde(); 
  
     Self { 
         u_i: u, 
         y_i: y, 
         dk, 
         ek, 
         party_index: index, 
         N_tilde, 
         h1, 
         h2, 
         xhi, 
         xhi_inv, 
     } 
 } 

However, in generate_h1_h2_N_tilde() the call to Paillier::keypair_safe_primes() is commented out:

multi-party-ecdsa/src/protocols/multi_party_ecdsa/gg_2020/party_i.rs

Lines 138 to 140 in c94065f

 // note, should be safe primes: 
 // let (ek_tilde, dk_tilde) = Paillier::keypair_safe_primes().keys();; 
 let (ek_tilde, dk_tilde) = Paillier::keypair().keys(); 

Does this weaken the support for safe primes? Is using safe primes still recommended for production?

Thanks for any pointers 🙏
