The best practices guide could suggest considering ECC subkeys since they are now supported in 2.1. They are faster, which is very useful for security tokens. Note that if there's a RSA and ECC key on a key, GnuPG 1.4 will do the right thing and choose the one that works (e.g. use RSA if it doesn't support ECC)...

We have deprecated the best practices guide, and instead tell people to use the defaults now, so closing this issue!
