Is there a reason for using oasislabs/ed25519 instead of crypto/ed25519? #295

I see the project is using oasislabs/ed25519 package instead of the Go standard library. I checked the library reame and it seems the aim is to be faster. so is this the reason behind using it? because I was thinking limiting the dependency on third party packages can make this project stable on the long run.
