I'm still a little unclear as to why you were specifically using these curves, which I think informs this discussion somewhat :).  For example, if you're testing with intentionally weak curves then we should be putting these behind an API that is as awkward to use as possible :).

Cool.  Hopefully our cryptographers in residence will have no issue with an API that you have to call to specifically enable these.
