I have a hard time reading this with an open mind, because I mistrust the NSA so much. That being said, the processes described in the article sound like they will arrive at a fairly transparent (in a good sense), publicly-vetted algorithm --- or at least one where it's easy to perceive if it's not trustworthy.
I'm not sure, based on my conversations with people in the field, that I put so much stock in the "20 years 'til Shor" prediction. Most seem to be of the opinion that the best currently available encryption should be okay until we're very old.
