It's on apt. It's literally on Cargo. It's on DockerHub with ads. It's literally on nuget. You can probably find it on snap. Dude it's on portage. It's a Homebrew original. It's on pacman. You can download it on nixpkgs. You can go to pkgsrc and watch it. Log onto the Windows Store right now.

this is also true in engineering

the google sre book is like das kapital

you're supposed to pretend to have read them, and make smart-sounding references that don't require you to have actually read either

Unless it takes you > 10 years to roll a key, in which case: SLH-DSA.

NIST released a draft of a non-binding document (IR 8547 ipd) saying they plan to disallow non-PQC in 2035.

csrc.nist.gov/Projects/pqc... is still running and large ecosystems are still figuring out what/how to deploy.
