Hi,

I was asked by a TLS participant to relay some information publicly
regarding their pure PQ mlkem use case. I have rephrased their ontribution
in my own words below.

        There is a use case for MLKEM in the market of high-frequency
        trading.  Apparently there were complaints from those users (eg
        traders) in the past about the performane impact of migrating
        to TLS 1.2. If there is a performance drop with TLS 1.3 with an
        MLKEM hybrid, then migration to PQ (or TLS 1.3) would stall. If
        they can offer a (even tiny) performance gain of TLS 1.3 MLKEM
        over TLS 1.2 ECDHE, then this individual would have a strong
        case to deploy PQ security. Otherwise, the traders will insist
        on waiting until a CRQC is publicly known to exist.

The individual stated they are in favour of adoption the pure mlkem
document along with the hybrid document so people can pick either,
depending in their use cases.

Paul
