I understand that due to FIPS requirements, this is needed. However, I'm also
going through this:
https://groups.google.com/a/list.nist.gov/g/pqc-forum/c/RsQbm_AQfzs/m/19o76lsyCwAJ

Personally, hybrids should be the recommended choice.
I think that the I-D draft-connolly-tls-mlkem-key-agreement should be
carefully written to explain the risks involved.

Will the authors consider a section 6.4 on risks involved with
lattice-based structures ?
I like what Simon Josefsson used in one of his drafts:
"new research findings may be published at any time that may warrant
implementation reconsiderations".
