Hello folks,

First of all, thank you all for your effort on revising OpenPGP RFC!
I am really glad to hear that the OpenPGP WG was officially rebooted recently.

I have a comment on draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-02, section 16.2.
The section specifies a compatibility profile conforming the Suite B.
However, IETF published RFC 8423 that moved several RFCs referring the
Suite B for other protocols to Historic.

>From RFC 8423:
> In July 2015, NSA published the Committee for National Security
> Systems Advisory Memorandum 02-15 as the first step in replacing
> Suite B with NSA's Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA)
> Suite.
> (...)
> As indicated in [CNSA], NSA is transitioning from Suite B to the CNSA
> Suite.  As a result, the profiles of the security protocols for the
> Suite B algorithms are now only of historic interest.

It would be great if the ongoing revision specifies a CNSA profile
and/or obsoletes the Suite B profile IMHO.
What do you think?

Best,
Masanori
