@djb@mastodon.cr.yp.to @paulehoffman@infosec.exchange @rsalz@ioc.exchange The IETF has a strong bent towards "publishing rather than censoring", unless the technical flaws are obvious. That bent drives strongly towards "publishing with some proper warning in the text", while not publishing at all would be pretty extraordinary, especially in presence of a constituency that really want to sell products to the US government. So at that stage of the debate, the issue is really about how strong the warning should be.

@huitema@social.secret-wg.org @paulehoffman@infosec.exchange @rsalz@ioc.exchange We require seatbelts in cars to reduce the number and severity of injuries in the event of a crash. The problem with allowing seatbelts to be skipped is something we explain to 6-year-olds. No, we don't allow cars to be sold with warnings in place of seatbelts. And, no, we don't allow the seatbelt rules to be corrupted by funding from the National Morgue Association.
