If you're interested in which new curves might make sense to use
in IETF work, please engage on that topic with the CFRG [1] who
are running a process now to tey reach consensus on some curves.

But let's not try do that in parallel here. When CFRG are done
then there will be some bits and pieces of work to be done here
perhaps, but not just yet.

Thanks,
S.
