Re: Proposal and intent to implement "dsa-sha2-256" SSH key algorithm

Hi denis,

Should this Draft RFC also be the one that moves the "ssh-dss" public
key algorithm from a "REQUIRED" and "MUST" implement algorithm to
an "OPTIONAL" and "SHOULD NOT" implement algorithm?

As things stand right now with RFC4253, the only REQUIRED algorithm is
"ssh-dss" and I do not believe that it is a good idea to leave it in
that state.

Or, is this better left to another RFC? Perhaps moving the Ed25519
algorithm created by

  https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-eddsa-00 

into a MUST algorithm while deprecating "ssh-dss" for SSH?

	Curious,
