Nope: We released several betas of gnupg 2.1 with full rfc-6637 support.
The Google folks are using this to test their JS code.  Unfortunately
the integration of Curve25519 is delayed because I planned to wait for
IETF standards.  Given that nothing happened over the last 6 months, I
now feel forced to go forward and write an OpenPGP specific I-D on how
to use Curve25519 and Ed25519 (mainly to get an algorithm ID for EdDSA).


Salam-Shalom,
