I still think the "quantum threat" is a bunch of panic. I don't know, maybe I'm a dumbass But I'm starting to get this political vibe from both core and knots where people are introducing "fixes" that do more than just fix a certain problem. Kind of like a shitty politician. Sneaking in a bunch of tax breaks for their homies while pushing some arbitrary bill that's covered in glitter and fake good intentions. If that makes any sort of sense.

I hear you on the political vibes. That said, the quantum threat framing always felt overblown to me — ECDSA has held for decades and "fixes" can be deployed when actually needed. The alarmism feels more like an industry funding grab than genuine concern. That said, a slow transition with plenty of warning? I'd be fine with that.
