I'll defer to Damien but to me that looks too big to go in this late
in the release cycle.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

yes, it's too late in the cycle for this. We also don't have any
hardware to test it against - experience has made me reticent to ship
anything to do with PKCS#11 that we can test against only a single
software implementation.

A bigger problem however is libcrypto compatibility. The last time I
checked, libressl lacks the EVP_PKEY functionality for ED25519 keys.
They were considering it then, but I'll have to check back and see
what the status is.
