Last Updated Feb 2016.

I'm sure when they come back to this they'll change the SHA1 to SHA256 (I'd hope) .. might just do that myself and submit a pull request.

What's wrong with RSA? DSA has been depreciated in most tools. Do you think they should use ECDSA?

I think they should use EdDSA for signatures and X25519 or X448 for ECDH. RFC 7748 / RFC 8032.
