I encourage people to try out these keys, certificates, and bundles, and
report whether they believe them to be appropriate for use in the
context of end-to-end-encrypted S/MIME-protected e-mail.

As i wrote in
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spasm/Of8CAPrWZKd0bY3Ye6ta8ENUIgE,
the main outstanding questions appear to be whether the LAMPS WG thinks
that the PKCS#12 object parameters are reasonable -- but i hope folks
will test the keys and certs -- particularly the 25519-based ones -- for
use regardless of PKCS#12 and flag any potential problems with them with
particular clients.
