+1 I suggested to publish the non-hybrid ML-KEM document outside of the TLS WG, and your proposal turns that into the new general rule.
In fact, I'd go further to suggest that we go back to the olden time without the 'Recommended' column. Anyone can register stuff at the IANA. Only RFCs turn registered algorithms into recommendations. Everything else is not recommended implicitly. I never understood/agreed with the justification for the 'Recommended' column, and it seems to have consumed a significant amount of time in both the TLS WG and SSHM WG. Introducing it looks indistinguishable from a successful attack on the use of IETF engineering time. /Simon Richard Barnes <[email protected]> writes: > Hi TLS folks, > > Those who have worked with me know that I hate doing unnecessary work.
