This I absolutely cannot agree. P521 must stay, as part of the supported NIST 
standard (which BTW we use).

I think all "rarely used curves" should be removed from TLS. Specifically, I 
think it would make sense for TLS to adopt a curve portfolio like this:

- CFRG curves (RECOMMENDED): Curve25519, Ed448-Goldilocks
- NIST curves (SUPPORTED): P-256, P-384, P-521

I agree, except that I think we should get rid of P-521 too.

Cheers,
Brian
