NSA pressuring U.S. defense contractors to support solo PQ: "If there is one vendor that produces one product that complies, then that is the product ... approved for use. Our interactions with vendors suggests that this won't be a problem in most cases." https://web.archive.org/web/20250613195524/https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spasm/xUKIoHQwm1BjNZWS2x3xb-BhsLI/

@djb@mastodon.cr.yp.to Using both allows you to fall back on the old standard if the math on the new one is wrong, but I'm guessing this is less about the actual math and more about attack surface. The only thing I can think is that they are worried about something akin to a parser attack and are using this push for solo-pq as an excuse because they can't say that.
