Are we even discussing changing TLS 1.3 MTI at this point, for either hybrid or 
pure PQC?

Cheers,

Andrei

We don't "vote" because majorities _can be wrong_.  At any rate it's hard to 
quantify the risks of pure PQ, and since there will be entities that insist on 
it for their own internal uses, and since the codepoint assignments exist, it's 
a bit over the top to say no when we can just insist that these not be MTI and 
hope that [unlike Dual_EC] pure PQ gets no usage outside of the orgs that 
require it.  Though I'm not keen on pure PQ yet, I do believe that the WG 
Chair's call was correct, but not just because 3/4s support adoption, and I 
appreciate that the consensus is strongly that pure PQ not be MTI.
