*shrug* I would argue this is the perfect time. These patches will not
end up in 7.8 as it is "feature complete." So you're at the start of
the 7.9 cycle. Which is the perfect time to redesign and implement a
better solution as you have a nice long haul period to get it right.

PKCS#11 support for ECC should have been integrated years ago. Let's not complicate it now, just integrate the existing patches so that people stuck with EC keys at least can use them somehow...

Wasn't there a proposal at one time to create something like AuthorizedKeysCommand for PKSC11 and other methods that required more complex backend processed so it could be externalized and OpenSSH could be simplified?

Lack of time on the Open Source projects is understandable, and not uncommon.
However, PKCS11 has been in the codebase practically forever - the ECC
patches that I saw did not alter the API or such. It is especially
non-invasive when digital signature is concerned.
Considering how long those patches have been sitting in the queue, and
the continued interest among the users - perhaps you can prioritize
the integration?
If someone can recommend hardware and some instructions on how to
set it up that will only improve the changes of this happening sooner.
