   So they’ve been talking about this for many years, planning, and finally announce when they’re going to switch the default.

   So this is the right time to post that everything they’re doing is wrong? Did you engage in all the discussions about it and how best to handle it? Whether SHA-256 was the best solution?

   I don’t see anywhere that it talks about alternate proposals or why they might have been better. Why the particular suggestions here were rejected.

   This seems like a bunch of Monday morning quarterbacking.

      The plans have been on display in a cellar. Beware of the leopard.

         I don’t understand what this is supposed to mean.

            I believe it's a reference to the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy – where the plans to remove the protagonists building to build a bypass road was hidden in this way.
