Is the prevailing opinion of cryptographers that "cryptographic agility" is a folly of developers?https://simplysecure.org/blog/developers-people-too …
@bradarkin I saw some backlash about agility from djb. Preference was to deprecate the protocol over swap ciphers.

you can see that general preference in most of his code, eg NaCl. I guess you can call me an "agility skeptic."

I guess DNSCurve would have been a better example.

Anyway, only point was maybe not rushing to agility in all situations since it doesn't come "free" in reality.

even the ability to swap protocols is a form of crypto agility. Probably just a question of getting terms defined appropriately.
