Firstly, as far as I know it's also quite difficult to get ECDSA
certificates in the wild. Has this changed significantly over the past
couple of months? Second - there's a current draft on EdDSA, which I'd
prefer over ECDSA, if somehow possible. I'm more about minimizing the
list of cipher-suites this draft introduces than to point out that I
dislike a particular signature schemes.
