Exactly.  While it would be a good idea to check that your software can create 
and check ED25519 signatures, there is no
reason to switch to them unless someone finds a flaw in RSA.  They're a little 
faster to
create and check than RSA, but the difference isn't enough to matter.

PS: I checked with the guy who wrote the RFC and he agrees.
