I would go for "X25519MLKEM768 higher than non-PQ shares" to keep the footprint 
down.
This avoids ranking N over Y and we could repeat/refine this statement whenever 
we make a new KEM recommended=Y.

Since the reason for PQ-algorithms is in the X25519MLKEM768 motivation, smart 
engineers should figure out the meaning [0] and might just need a little 
"nudge" so they remember that there is a preference ranking, not just an 
algorithm on/off switch :)

[0] e.g. I fully trust them to figure out which shares are "non-PQ", so no need 
to explicitly list them.
