Comment (by yawning):

 Things that should happen at some point:

  * Deprecate TAP (Prop 224, Prop 266)
  * Migrate to ECC + PQ for link layer handshakes (Prop 263)
  * Migrate to 256 bit symmetric crypto (Prop 261)
  * PQ authentication/signatures (No suitable primitives exist)

 Things that maybe should happen:

  * Stop using TLS?
