I'm in favour of publication of the draft as-is, with no changes
to the Recommended column.
I think at this point any discussion about it would be counter-productive
and can be easily addressed by any future RFC.

This is the working group last call for Post-quantum hybrid
ECDHE-MLKEM Key Agreement for TLSv1.3. Please review
draft-ietf-tls-ecdhe-mlkem [1] and reply to this thread
indicating if you think it is ready for publication or not. If
you do not think it is ready please indicate why. This call
will end on October 22, 2025.
Please note that during the WG adoption call, Dan Bernstein
pointed out some potential IPR (see [2]), but no IPR disclosure
has been made in accordance with BCP 79. Additional information
is provided here; see [3].
BCP 79 makes this important point:
(b) The IETF, following normal processes, can decide to use
technology for which IPR disclosures have been made if it decides
that such a use is warranted.
WG members can take this information into account during the
working group last call.
Reminder: This working group last call has nothing to do with
picking the mandatory-to-implement cipher suites in TLS.
Cheers,
Joe & Sean
