Hi, Along the lines of what I discussed at IETF 126 about compatibility between extensions, I proposed a refactoring of the structs of the amortized PQ combiner that would allow it work more easily with future extensions that involve Wire Formats. https://github.com/mlswg/mls-combiner/issues/25 Thanks, -rohan
