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.
