While I 100% agree, it should be noted that this particular RFC predates the Ed25519 RFC by some years.
OpenPGP appears (to me, as an outsider) to move at an extremely glacial pace - I hope that they'll get there in time.
EDIT: I don't mean it predates the design of Ed25519, but it seems unlikely that the writers of this RFC would base their proposal on something not formalized in another RFC.
