--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <[email protected]> ---
Sorry, we don't see any need for ed448. There's nothing wrong with the
algorithm per se, but there doesn't seem to be much point for it. Being
able to break ed25519 seems to require either a fundamental
cryptanalytic result against elliptic curve cryptography or quantum
computation.

In either case, the attack that allows ed25519 to be broken is likely
to apply equally to ed448. I.e. if one falls, then the other is almost
certainly going to as well.
