Re: [Cfrg] RFC 5742 conflict review for draft-dolmatov-kuznyechik

I believe that publishing the document below would conflict with ongoing
work in the IETF to provide secure block ciphers that we can use on the
Internet.  It is not in the best interest of the IETF nor the Internet
at large to publish RFCs of national ciphers if there is no immediate
desire to use them in Internet protocols.
