> There's a mechanism Dan can use to push for engineering decisions to be reviewed - he didn't do that.

This is the retort of every bureaucracy which fails to do the right thing, and signals to observers that procedure is being used to overrule engineering best practices. FYI.

I'm thankful for the work djb has put in to these complaints, as well as his attempts to work through process, successful or not, as otherwise I wouldn't be aware of these dangerous developments.

Excuses of any kind ring hollow in the presence of historical context around NSA and encryption standardization, and the engineering realities.
