The thread starts with “Due to this, Cisco has preliminarily considered Kyber 
unusable”
This is obviously not true anymore as Scott very clearly stated that Cisco 
wants to see both hybrid and non-hybrid ML-KEM standardized, and that they want 
to implement and ship both. I agree with Scott. Also, I think Cisco was quite 
clear on that if the IPR uncertainties regarding ML-KEM was not addresses, 
which they were, they wanted NTRU, not NTRU Prime

Mozilla is obviously shipping ML-KEM in Firefox. I am an avid user of Firefox, 
and I am happy to see X25519MLKEM768 on more and more webpages.

Cheers,
John

If there are some patent concerns regarding ML-KEM going forward, Would
considering NTRU-Prime as a less risky option for TLS Kex?
