I don't see that the 3rd of February date changed anything.

X25519 and X448 was not approved, is not approved, it may become
approved at some later time. But even if it does become approved
later, it will require new certification for that code, current
certified modules won't gain it just by virtue of X25519 becoming
an approved algorithm.
