What's nice about SIDH is it's amenable to easily running side by side with
e.g. Curve25519 (and putting both shared secrets into a KDF or something
like that). You can rely on Curve25519 for security today, and maybe just
maybe SIDH will continue to provide confidentiality in a hypothetical
post-quantum world.
