We could ask the proponents of new algorithms for information oncurrent or expected usage.
WRT GOST, we're not really talking about an algorithm but rather a national crypto standards scheme that selects sets of algorithms. For such things, whether from Russia or the US or anywhere, I think it's quite fair to ask "how has version N deployment gone?" as part of considering how to handle version N+1. Indeed, it'd seem wrong not to ask and get an answer. And "how to handle" isn't always "adoption" but could as I said result in deprecating version N if nobody really cares about it - in such a case that'd help implementers and better reflect reality. Cheers, S.
However, if adoption is relevant to any kind of decision on what to do with an algorithm proposal, this should better be formalized somewhere and applied evenly to all algorithms that may appear in the future. Personally, I think that some expectation of adoption would be useful not to clutter the list of algorithms, but the threshold should be quite low.
