This has degraded via the intervention of people who apparently believe that “getting out the vote” is a good way to influence the IETF process. I disagree entirely with the word “good” and really hope that “a way” is also wrong. But, in the event that I’m wrong and all these interventions are being taken seriously by someone, here’s mine:
This draft is unlikely to have any significant effect on the broader Internet, because all the serious at-scale implementors that I know of are voting for X25519MLKEM768 with their code, because they think the hybrid PQC approach has a positive cost/benefit trade-off. I’m not a cryptographer but based on my understanding of the Internet landscape, I feel safe in deferring to those implementors and, given a choice, would make the same one they have. I entirely support the draft’s “RECOMMENDED: N” in Section 6. So “the draft will have no significant effect” has as a subset “the draft will have no significant bad effect”. While I can’t actually think of any useful results publishing it will have, I also can’t think of good reasons to object. -Tim
