OQS ~ Production/Growth? (moving towards Impact?)
This classification proposal is too optimistic and would raise wrong expectations by users if published as such.
This is to urge PQCA to act responsibly and carefully wrt this classification: Particularly OQS and PQCP are security software. Under no circumstances should PQCA entities overly "optimistic" or controlled by marketing-oriented people following their corporate agenda(s) be allowed to set externally visible "lifecycle" expectations contradicting the positions of responsible (also sub project) maintainers of such software, if they see things more conservatively.
Also here, please tag me explicitly as/if progress is made: I have not subscribed to this project and otherwise probably would not get notified as my preference is to only work on technical GH issues. In this case, though (the resolution of) this issue is one that can have impact on my personal reputation (e.g., if I don't withdraw visibly and quickly enough from projects that PQCA markets too aggressively).
