I would have agreed then, in 2014, maybe, one or two years later, completely with GnuPG's statement on ECC support. I cannot state whether any of the other open-source and free projects on encryption have advanced to ECC, however, I would expect most of them have so far. Independent of the ECC support in other programs than GnuPG, I think to advance to the newest, but stable and well-tested, security measures (ECC), would be a good idea and will pay of in the future? I expect, of course, to advance to the newest stable versions will, at some point, introduce regressions with older versions (or platforms). But I think that is a price we should be willing to pay.
