Hi Christian,
We're asking for feedback on topics that are feature regressions and where we aren't sure what to do. We can add new features in minor releases, but removals and other incompatible changes have to happen in 4.0 or else we're stuck until 5.0.
We definitely know we want to add EdDSA, it's on our roadmap (https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/project/roadmap/) and it's just a question of when.
Chacha20-poly1305 cipher suites have been supported since Mbed TLS 2.12.
Best regards,
