Hi,

ed25519 is a signature algorithm and is not relevant to the key
exchange. It could be used for authentication (server host key and
user's private keys) however I do not feel this increases the
confidentiality properties of SSH.

(btw I'm still expecting more feedback, negative or positive, to the my
proposal and how it could be shipped with openssh).
