As someone way out of the loop on pqc, this bit:
> anyway, someone popular among some people in tech (the cryptographer Dan Bernstein) has been trying (successfully) to slow the PQC transition for ~10 years
Sounds enough like throwing shade to make me doubt it's value, in absence of other signals.
My point was your history of posting knowledgeably about security and cryptography provides the credibility for me to go do more reading about the stuff in mswphd's post.
Oh, Bernstein is a vocal and relentless opponent of MLKEM. Both the industry and research cryptography have settled on MLKEM. That's the subtext. You could word it differently and more charitably, but I wouldn't.
