The above is still the current status as far as I am aware.

To move the draft forward in the RFC process, we need find an AD to
sponsor the draft or (I guess) the TLS WG to adopt it.

It would be useful if TLS implementers let the list know what their
status is (waiting/planning/implemeted/rejected).

If interop testing is pending on having an assigned number, I suggest
using 65024 as the Curve25519 EC Named Curve number for testing
purposes.
