The brainpool and secp256k1 curves will also be supported in SKS 1.1.5
and can be used in the hkp://subset.pool.sks-keyservers.net (that will
get a min requirement of 1.1.5 (latest version as usual)). We should be
able to have this out in time for GnuPG 2.1. The NIST curves are
supported as of SKS 1.1.4.
