    Did Kenny make this statement in the context of postquantum cryptography (that is, public key algorithms that are believed to be secure even if the adversary has a quantum computer)?
    
    That would certainly be a reasonable statement (as most postquantum algorithms are fairly new, and are still being cryptographically vetted).
    
    On the other hand, this specific draft doesn't involve any postquantum algorithms; it relies only on currently accepted algorithms, and so Kenny's caution would not apply.
