I'm still puzzled as to what led to the statement that I quoted at the
beginning:
P 256 is the most popular curve in the world besides the bitcoin
curve. And I don’t have head to head numbers, and the bitcoin curve
is SEC P, but P 256 is most popular curve on the internet. So
certificates, TLS, handshakes, all of that is like 70 plus percent
negotiated with the P 256 curve.
Maybe the TLS co-chair has a comment?

As I said, the statement is from one of the current TLS co-chairs, a

the importance of ensuring accurate information.
Dan, this is unsavory conduct. We are here to have reasoned, impersonal
discussions. Please see in particular the second guideline for conduct
at the IETF (RFC 7154).
Trying to call out an individual for a comment made informally, in some
other corner of the internet, some time ago, is rather unbecoming of you
and looks as though you're trying to use the working group's time and
energy to settle a playground squabble. Especially when the referenced
comment was unconnected to any active discussion within the WG or
decisions made by the chairs.
Your thread has raised two technical & impersonal questions relevant to
the TLS WG. Let's keep the focus on them:
1) What cryptographic algorithms are popularly used with TLS today?
2) Does this popularity matter for deciding which PQ hybrids to
standardize in TLS?
