tl;dr DJB is trying to stop the NSA railroading bad crypto into TLS standards, the objections deadline is in two days, and they're stonewalling him

This /. story fills in the backstory: https://it.slashdot.org/story/25/11/23/226258/cryptologist-d...

  Normal practice in deploying post-quantum cryptography is to deploy ECC+PQ. IETF's TLS working group is standardizing ECC+PQ. But IETF management is also non-consensually ramming a particular NSA-driven document through the IETF process, a "non-hybrid" document that adds just PQ as another TLS option.
