Agree

Agree. I think it’s best to keep it simple and use X25519MLKEM768 as the sole 
example. Since the external PSKs are also used for TLS authentication, I think 
the full recommendation should be to follow RFC8773(bis) with  X25519MLKEM768, 
as suggested earlier.

Cheers,

I've not read into the LS but going from mails to the list:

The above seems like the meat of a very reasonable response.

I think text that (correctly) says that depending only on QKD
would be silly is also good, and I'm fine that whoever crafts
the LS response text finds the best language for that. The
proposals already suggested seem almost fine.

I'd not say anything about combining QKD with pure ML-KEM as
that'd likely just add needless controversy.

Cheers,
S.
