Following the release of SKS 1.1.6 I expect to make this the minimum
required version for the subset pool when a sufficient number of servers
have been upgraded to the new version. This means that
subset.pool.sks-keyservers.net will be ECC safe for all of ECDSA (NIST,
Brainpool, serpent etc as defined by RFC6637) as well as Ed25519 signing
and Curve25519 encryption keys.

https://sks-keyservers.net/overview-of-pools.php#pool_subset will be
updated when this change happens in, hopefully a relatively short time.
