I'd suggest you worry more about the rumors that Kazakhstan is growing
a veritable army of gerbils, and giving them all ABACUSES!

What's your plan for that imminent attack vector? Because they could
be here any day.

Yes, yes, please stop using RSA and relying over-much on big prime
numbers. But let's not throw the "Post Quantum" word around as if it
was reality.

The reality of kernel security remains actual bugs - both in hardware
and in software - not some buzzword.
