As a mere observer watching from the CFRG peanut gallery, I second this. It
seems there's something of an informal consensus that Curve25519 is
acceptable as a curve with a 128-bit security level by all parties

everything else (rigid curve generation guidelines, higher security level
curves) are a lower priority.
