Do you have a source for this 20 year figure? It hasn't figured heavily in
the
discussions in (say) TLS WG.

More generally, it's very hard to estimate the meaningful lifetime of data
and even hard to measure the meaningful lifetime when a protocol can
carry multiple kinds of data (e.g., HTTP can carry data with effective
lifetime in seconds like MFA codes or decades like medical information).
Can you provide some examples of protocols which you do not think
need to transition to PQ algorithms?
