>From my perspective, it should already be clear-cut to absolutely everyone
at this very late stage that humans in CFRG and/or on the Crypto Review
Panel will be fundamentally incapable of providing anything novel or useful
to say on the cryptography (any such information is already completely
present in public discussion, and the odds of someone in these groups
having something novel to introduce that they've held back all this
time is *somewhat
noticeably lower* than the odds of a simultaneous meteor strike from outer
space cutting the physical Internet connections between my sending this
email and those on this list receiving it, such that you do not receive
this email).
