I've read the whole thread (and sub-threads) so far but no-one has mentioned
GnuPG 2.1 (with the exception of Ludwig who points out that it cannot co-exist
with 2.0).  Patrick comes close in that he refers to 2.x.

I use 2.0.26 with latest enigmail nightlies and although the number of emails
using ECC is low at present, it will surely increase.  Enigmail presently does
not give a satisfactorily complete response to an email signed with an ECC
certificate.

Would it be worthwhile having enigmail pass straight to GnuPG 2.1 ?
