What the NSA appears to recommend or not doesn't cause me any significant concern.

This could happen if they're relaxing their recommendations to double down on post-quantum cryptography.

This could happen if they had a mathematical breakthrough that invalidated all ECDLP security estimates.

I'll never know which it is. The pragmatic thing is to research PQCrypto and make sure the next generation of asymmetric primitives are as good as they can be.

Their main argument is don’t spend the effort to switch to ECC since we’re going to recommend switching to a quantum resistant suite any day now.
