I'd count myself in the quantum procrastinators camp. I'm sure I won't be on the vanguard of people moving to any new algorithm (whether for quantum resistant reasons or because classical computers come closer to cracking EC cryptography). It's a term that conduition used and I liked the ring of it, but you are right that it's a hostile term and does more to stoke controversy than help it. I let the desire for a snappy post title get the best of me.

Understood. Kudos for being so forthright.
It was snappy enough to get me involved, so seems to have worked as intended. :)

I really dislike your use of the term "quantum procrastinators."
You're alienating the very people you seemingly want to strike up a conversation with by implying the main or perhaps even only reason to delay quantum proofing is due to procrastination instead of caution.
(I have no dog in this fight as I simply do not know enough about the topic. But I really dislike it when terms are twisted to imply one knows the motivation behind the "other side.")
