that ed25519 package has a known bug in it, but we are stuck with it currently because it is part of consensus (script validation). it's intentionally kept at that old version.

@jrick beat me to it, but unfortunately we can't update it because it would potentially cause old coins to become unspendable due to the known bug.

We'd have to introduce a new script version with a new address scheme to be able to use it and even then we would still need the old version to validate v0 scripts.

Aside from that, I would definitely agree and like to use a better edwards package. In fact, I'd prefer to use ristretto255 over ed25519 when updating too because ristretto255 avoids a lot of pitfalls present with ed25519 when trying to use it in higher level protocols such as hd key generation.
