Thank you for confirming, on the record, that the Canadian government plans to
recommend solo ML-KEM for TLS despite the document carrying a RECOMMENDED=N
flag. This is the single most important piece of evidence in this entire
debate, because it proves that RECOMMENDED=N is meaningless in practice.
You misunderstand what RECOMMENDED=N means. Quoting from an actual registry[1]
If the "Recommended" column is set to "N", it does not necessarily
mean that it is flawed; rather, it indicates that the item either
has not been through the IETF consensus process, has limited
applicability, or is intended only for specific use cases. …
This is exactly what Jonathan is saying:
Therefore, our general guidance is not recommending one over the other,
as it may be a use case specific decision.
