--- Comment #1 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> ---
Support for ed25519 keys may not be sufficiently widespread yet (among ssh
servers that users need to connect to); my intent is to make incremental
improvement in main (choosing better algorithms by default and deprecating =
old
ones) while avoiding surprises or regressions for users of stable branches =
and
releases.

If/when we're confident that ed25519 support is sufficiently common this ca=
n be
merged to the stable branches.
