Likely should not blanket accept ECC for various reasons. For one thing |
| 5 |
the curves we likely would want to accept are not standardized, so you |
| 6 |
have interoperability issues. |

The hardware situation is improving somewhat on these, so that is less |
| 9 |
of a concern now than back in the day. |

|
| 11 |
But there aren't really very strong arguments in favor of ecc, and in |
| 12 |
the case of quantum computation there less protection offered from ecc |
| 13 |
due to smaller key sizes. |

We also keep gnupg 1.4 in tree that does not, and will not, support ecc. |
