Hi folks,

I see that the hybrid doc continues to have this text:

*Failures.* Some post-quantum key exchange algorithms, including ML-KEM [
NIST-FIPS-203
<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-tls-hybrid-design-16.html#NIST-FIPS-203>
], have non-zero probability of failure, meaning two honest parties may
derive different shared secrets. This would cause a handshake failure.
ML-KEM has a cryptographically small failure rate; if other algorithms are
used, implementers should be aware of the potential of handshake failure.
Clients MAY retry if a failure is encountered.

There was extensive discussion about this for the pure ML-KEM draft, and my
sense was the sentiment was that this should not be discussed, at least for
ML-KEM. I think we should remove
this whole section.
