As an outsider...
I am neither a mathematician nor a cryptographer.
I know the algorithm(s) entered OpenSSL.
I myself am fine with having more non-PQ DKIM algorithms, the US
government which i as a german blindly trust gives 2035-12-31 as
a "hard post-quantum deadline for all remaining systems", and
2031-12-31 as "digital signature cutoff for high-impact federal
systems".

Personally i found it incredibly hard to read.
It was a bit like me (not a christian) reading book Jesaja of the
Bible; well i am not alone, Jesus Christus himself said something
like ~~"why did you struggle reading Jesaja", but not in this ~"i
am a master and to me it just came" tone, but rather saying ~"i
know where you come from and feel with you", hmhm, more or less.
Well i once said if it were me i would compress Jesaja to a few
sentences, one of the most important ones would most likely be
~"god is someone who comes from very far".
In the German language one (can) read(s) Jesaja as Je-sa-ja, and
if we go Je-sah-ja (sounds the same) we can translate this as
~"did he ever saw yes", or even ~"will 'Yes' ever be seen".
So it is.

It also reminded me of the official technical specs of some
electronic German passport access, which starts (iirc) for pages
and pages with very complicated maths, .. until i realized that
i *thought* what they describe is the Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
You know.  I would write "it starts with the diffie-hellman key
exchange" instead of writing many pages of very complicated
technical specs.  I know you can, yet i cannot.

The thing i would be afraid of is something like the German Enigma
problem in WWII, where at least certain (most) used it
insufficiently.  Yet it was expected to be so complicated that
noone could penetrate it.

I liked the OpenSSL command line utility (!!) based example.
