Ed25519 offers users a non-NIST ECC alternative. It has been deployed in
non-DNS products such as OpenSSH where its use is becoming popular. It
was nice to see it introduced to DNS by what is now
draft-ietf-curdle-dnskey-eddsa.

Why is it at SHOULD+ and not a MUST? What influences whether it is
upgraded to a MUST or not?

The draft says:

Does this mean it will likely be promoted in a future revision of this
draft, or farther in the future?
