ETA Curve 25519? #2213

@ghost

Description

The newest version of GnuPG (>=2.1.7) supports now Curve 25519 keys for encryption as well, so I figured I get rid of my oversized (8k RSA) PGP-Key and make myself a new one with Curve 25519 keys only. Creation worked like a charm:

sec   ed25519/0xD7C310C60515D0A7 2016-04-15 [C] [expires: 2018-04-15]
      Key fingerprint = 6935 4591 E687 BECC 6EC8  1A7E D7C3 10C6 0515 D0A7
uid                   [ultimate] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ssb   ed25519/0x347A5C00EF9384BE 2016-04-15 [S] [expires: 2018-04-15]
ssb   cv25519/0x0887E3F321F3EC13 2016-04-15 [E] [expires: 2018-04-15]

And most of my apps just syscall gpg2, so no problem there either. But keybase as expected doesn't support it yet:

keybase pgp select --multi --no-import
[...]
ERROR ImportKey error: openpgp: invalid data: subkey signature invalid: openpgp: unsupported feature: unsupported oid: 2b060104019755010501

I do not want to leave my keybase account keyless - would be kinda useless - so I am interested in a rough estimate when Curve 25519 keys are gonna be supported.
