In this situation, I just want to avoid creating a new key-pair as
long as possible and ed448 is likely to survive just a bit longer from
what I understand.
Why is it so important your keypair be as long-lived as possible, when
there's very little likelihood of you going for that long a period

They want use them and print a '?' with --check-sigs.

It depends on how soon you think general-purpose quantum computers will
be available. Elliptic-curve keys are *less* resistant to quantum
algorithms than

Will be part of 2.3. However, even then I do not suggest to create such
a key because the majority of deployed software won't be able to use
it. If you care about the secuity of your key use a smartcard.
Hello,
I am looking into making a new key that is as "future-proof" as possible.
Offline master key that is ed448 would be ideal if possible with Curve25519
subkeys for daily use on a smartcard.
Is ed448 available / in development?
Or a similar 256bit "safe-curves" option?
Thank you, Jonathan
