Using ECC keys in GPG - why is this still deprecated?

Why is GPG so reluctant to let you use ECC keys? Is it just a backward compatibility thing, or are they not trusted yet? I have the code written to use GnuPG 2.x with Confidant Mail, and I am trying to decide whether to ship GPG 1.4.x or 2.x with the next Windows build. If I ship 2.x and people start using ECC keys, then 2.x is effectively mandatory from then on. What do you think? Mike

Probably because their implementation is still experimental and "hidden". If people want to use ECC keys then use 2.1. On Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 3:32 PM, Mike Ingle <mike@confidantmail.org> wrote:
