Having been dealing with the crudware argument for a very long time* I
can tell you that the chances of getting all the crudware fixed
anytime soon are negligible, and nobody's going to change registrars
because they can't publish 2K keys.

That's why I suggested we add EdDSA.  It's, ah, crudware resistant.

R's,
John
