Hi all, and dear editors,

Would it be possible to get a new draft out with Ed25519 in it?

(I'm not sure if this work is blocked by anything, but I'm sending
this email purely in case some encouragement is helpful ^.^
Let me know if I can do anything more helpful than that.)

We (OpenPGP.js) would like to switch to generating ECC keys by
default, and the current situation where Ed25519 is not in any
non-expired draft is a bit awkward, in that context.

(FWIW, I also care about a bunch of other stuff in rfc4880bis,
but this one seems the most uncontroversial to me ^.^)

Thanks for all your work!

Best,
Daniel Huigens
