Thanks for the clarification :)

So we are basically weighing the potential damage from delayed publication (and 
thus more non-PQ traffic) against the potential damage from faulty and more 
complex ECC implementations (and insecure servers and potentially less 
deployment should the NIST curves get more standard in hybrids, which currently 
seems likely due to ML-KEM1024 combos).

Many voices in this LC seem to either advocate for recommendation changes or be 
sold on a particular set of combinations already. If the current document was 
able to pass WGLC, then changes to the recommended column should not change 
this. So why go through Montreal? Couldn't we have another WGLC tomorrow? That 
would just move the deadline by the duration of a LC.
