Just to play devil's advocate here, are you implying that we'll see a
5-10-year lead time on quantum computer development sufficiently in
order
to spend those 5-10 years:
1) having this discussion again,
2) revving the documents
3) getting the revved documents through the process
4) getting the revved documents published
5) getting the revved documents implemented
6) getting that new implementation into the field, and (most
importantly)
7) getting the OLD hardware decommissioned?
No, not at all. PaulW's proposal is *not* about adding a new algorithm,
it is changing the recommendation status for the algorithms. Both
algorithms will be in the deployed systems. So the 5-10 years lead time
is getting users to change their configs. If we can't get them to change
them in 10 years, we probably can't get them to change them ever. It is
operator's responsibility to maintain their configurations, not ours to
be the configuration police. Note that this thread is split off from the
QR thread.
