Perhaps you would care to enlighten us ignorant plebs rather than taunting us?
My understanding (obviously as a non expert) matches what cyberax wrote above. Is it not common wisdom that the pursuit of new and exciting crypto is an exercise filled with landmines? By that logic rushing to switch to the new shiny would appear to be extremely unwise.
I appreciate the points made in the article that the PQ algorithms aren't as new as they once were and that if you accept this new imminent deadline then ironing out the specification details for hybrid schemes might present the bigger downside between the two options.
I mean TBH I don't really get it. It seems like we (as a society or species or whatever) ought to be able to trivially toss a standard out the door that's just two other standards glued together. Do we really need a combinatoric explosion here? Shouldn't 1 (or maybe 2) concrete algorithm pairings be enough? But if the evidence at this point is to the contrary of our ability to do that then I get it. Sometimes our systems just aren't all that functional and we have to make the best of it.
As far as I know, the currently standardized lattice methods are not known to be vulnerable? And the biggest controversy seemed to be the push for inclusion of non-hybrid methods?
I'm not following crypto closely anymore, I stopped following the papers around 2014, right when learning-with-errors started becoming mainstream.

Uhm...?
