Regardless of whether that is RSA, Ed25519 or something else in this
specific case.

My .02: The most secu(R)e (as in "Resilient") default would encourage users to have at least *two* keypairs of different algos at hand.

[I still remember the day after automated nightly updates had washed a vendor's panicky "let's disable DSA" into our platforms and I was the only sysadmin to *also* have an "old-fashioned, unnecessarily huge" *RSA* pubkey distributed onto the target machines]
