Interesting.  I read both Eric's original statement and the
clarification both expressing the identical message: "we don't want to
publish ntruprime-SSH as an RFC standard".  As far as I can tell that is
Eric's position [1].  My interpretation of Eric's clarification being
identical to the original quote is based on the incorrect but often
repeated claim (even by IETF AD's) that the ntruprime-SSH draft is not
under IETF change control, and the related opinion that only
NIST-blessed crypto can "serve the IETF purpose".
