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

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

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

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