Issuing ECDSA certificates now possible with certbot

Hi,
I have noticed that this commit introduced the possibility to issue ECDSA certificates with Certbot
Is this correct? (starting with version 1.9?)
If it is, that's big news because it has been a long-awaited feature!

My understanding is that to issue a ECDSA certificate it is required to pass in the "--key-type ecdsa" parameter (optionally specifying the type of elliptic curve with " --elliptic-curve secp256r1 / secp384r1 / secp521r1" [default: secp256r1]), and it does the job.

It'll be included in release 1.10.0. The current release is 1.9.0 and it isn't included in that one.

By the way, it's actually this PR/commit which included the feature in the master branch by committing multiple PRs which were "pooled" in the ecdsa branch first:

Awesome! I see the usual release schedule is about monthly, so I suppose the 1.10.0 should will available in a week or two?

I'm not sure if there's a schedule, but I'm pretty sure the certbot team doesn't want to wait too long for this feature :wink:
