Ah, sorry about neglecting the other curves here. I'm much less
concerned about the curve changes.

Someone who chooses these curves has thought about it and made their
choice. Someone who is on RSA1024 might not know that they're on the
"very best of y2k" playlist. The NSA may have suggested everybody move
away from these curves ten years ago but did so without publishing their
reasoning, if I recall correctly, and there hasn't been compelling
movement in the open literature that I know of.

To the best of my knowledge, these curves are fine now and nobody
expects drastic movement in the next few years.

Thanks
