The MLKEM discussion in the TLS WG has clearly reached popcorn status, at least for me. As in, take the flurry of partially informed drop ins and oft repeated arguments as a source of amusement. Relax, eat popcorn or drink wine or whatever, and enjoy the show. And appreciate that someone else has to disentangle all that...

I was expecting popcorn. I was not expecting Jacob Applebaum to post a precise description of how a change made by NIST in the final stages of ML-KEM publication is exactly what you need to establish a secret backdoor. That's not popcorn, that's dynamite. I don't see how the IETF could publish the draft as is after this publication. https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tls/BfV8R0Dr15PUOGfDi9d7_INJQzo/
