Nit: I still find the "Institutions, being large ..." phrasing a
bit clumsy.  How about:

    Organizations that are dominant in the market or support a
    large fraction of the user base, can help to overcome inertia
    and hasten the deprecation of a weakened algorithm suite,
    thereby making the transition easier for their own users as
    well as others.
