> When we added X25519 to BoringSSL, we at the same time started made the server require clients supply a curve list (and otherwise we'd just pick a non-ECDHE cipher), because of this issue. That went in back in December 2015 and it's been running just fine. I'd recommend OpenSSL do the same.

In other words:  only use ECDHE if client specifies a curve list.  WFM.
