In addition to not actually breaking clients, it'd be useful with some
indication that added complexity has any value at all. In most cases ECC
is lower security margin for lower interoperability. I'm still not
convinced we have anything to gain by doing any dual-stack approach that
also includes an increased workload to manage the certs.
