@NohatCoder Well, it's nice to see people being honest that they're chasing money at the expense of security! Sometimes people have even admitted that it's NSA money. NSA is also on record pressuring vendors to support non-hybrids.
Unfortunately, the money sometimes also pressures people into fantasizing technological motivations (e.g., claiming that the spec helps high-frequency trading) and then not responding to objections. Neutral chairs would have said "Let's resolve this".
