 * parent:   => #28634


Comment:

 This is not strictly needed for #28634 or 041, but it will change all of
 our padding vs non-padding relative timing delays, which may affect
 classifier accuracy. For apples-to-apples comparisons for future
 attacks+defenses wrt #28634. we should get this in at the same time as it
 lands.

 So yes, I agree. 041.
