Hi,

IMHO there's a few things that really should be done:

- there have been a few CURVE-related changes, especially quite
recently, so it should be _really_ well tested to ensure no regression
is introduced in this sensitive area
- ZMQ monitor events are half-done for CURVE, and it would be really
nice if they could be completed:
  https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/pull/2473
- there are some IPv6 regressions IIRC, but can't find the source right
now

Obviously the more help we can get, the quicker it can be all done :-)

Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi
