The IETF TLS chairs have now issued a "last call" for objections to non-hybrid signatures in TLS. Do they admit that their previous "last call" re non-hybrid KEMs ended up with a _majority_ in opposition, and that many opposition statements obviously also apply to signatures? No.

@djb I read all your posts, but I'm not a cryptographer. My personal biased recommendation for someone missing a lot of context would be an "ELI5" summary to make certain story telling more obvious.

Eg: "IETF chair is pushing agenda X or Y b/c I think they are being coerced by Z" or whatever

@purpleidea https://blog.cr.yp.to/20251004-weakened.html is one introduction to what's going on, but I don't think so much context is necessary to see that these particular chair actions are problematic. Part of the job of a standards-development organization is to keep track of objections.
