If you want to debate the wisdom of what the TLS WG is doing, it is best done in the TLS WG, not here. Of course, you should read the threads on the list where the WG had strong consensus to remove generic curves. If you want to change their minds on that topic, doing so on the CFRG mailing list is probably not effective, and gets in the way of us making progress on what the TLS WG asked us to do.
