I was surprised when the elliptical curve crypto started to be adopted as
many have fought against it for years, specially the NSA. For a while I
thought it was both ignorance and 'anti-DJB sentiment', now it seems they
were just waiting to get a shoe into breaking it.
I suspect the same thing happened with dnscurve (fixes dnssec's big
vulnerability on the initial request), but I don't expect adoption to now
soar.
