A bit concerning. The discussions on @TLS seems more open to Curve25519
and friends. There are several drafts including Curve25519 in TLS and
seems to have traction. The big discussion seems to be on Curve25519 vs
EdCurve25519. And big endian vs little endian.

There seems to be good traction for chacha and salsa20 too.

What was the cfrg interim consensus on curves - what are they suggesting
to use? NIST curves?

BTW: OpenBSD seems to bring in French curves into libressl. Mon dieu!
