And GnuPG also support this since 2.1 (last November) - it is not yet in
the standard but several people started to use it and I do my commit
signatures with such a key. Plain ECC using NIST and Brainpool curves
are also supported since 2.1 (RFC-6637).
Key creation using newer algos is hiden behind --expert for the sole
reason that it is better to first have software understanding ECC
deployed before most people start to create these keys.
Shalom-Salam,
