I would actually love to see a forward compatibility mode in existing plugins when v4.5 or v5.1 adds PQ ciphers. You know, automatic upgrade, and later down the road a safe way to block downgrades - unlike TLS. > Well, the libraries we have for crypto primitives per se are > "libsodium-dev", "libgcrypt" and "libgoldilocks".
