I don't know why you think that's true, given that we are presently debating the status of that column in this very WGLC. > So why go through Montreal? Couldn't we have another WGLC tomorrow?

Above, I proposed changing them to Y, which would also entail changing the document to be Proposed Standard. We've now heard a number of counterproposals, including (1) leave as-is (2) just mark X25519 Y (3) take out the NIST curves. At this point it's not clear to me that any of these has consensus, so that chairs need to work that out. However, given that there have been a number of objections to (3), I doubt very much that that would pass WGLC (and I, at least, would object to it.). -Ekr
