I'm a mainframer, mostly, so I suspect that makes it even longer before I'll see implementation for _production_ use. Further, I don't want the implementation of PDM in more secure environments delayed because of encryption-method concerns.

As a note on this, HPKE does not in fact seem to be expired: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-irtf-cfrg-hpke-09.html

This is an official RG document that in IRSG and getting prepared for RFC publication. It also is a stable protocol, and we at Apple are already deploying it and relying on it. So, this protocol is ready for production (and is being used as such) already.

The PDM timing was very granular, so this will add a variable amount of time to the time the packet is determined to be spending in transmission; the encryption delay is now part of the transmission time.

I want to do a side meeting where we can have quite a bit more time to discuss this but would love to have comments from the group on the list.
