The availability of ed25519 keys for SSH has raised the spectre of
internal policy changing to disallow use of RSA and DSA keys:
http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/new-openssh-key-format-and-bcrypt-pbkdf

This is obviously impractical until our systems support it.

In the mean time we can better protect our RSA keys:

Is there a plan to support ECDSA, ed25519 and other stronger key
formats in sshd? Would it make sense to switch from Sun_SSH to OpenSSH
in SmartOS at some point?
