As I understand the NASR proposal, it's still N: if the PQ protection
is applied at some hops/layer(s) below the classic encryption, then
all of the relevant hops see the classic ciphertext, as well anyone
with visibility at a "gap" between lower layer PQ-capable entities.

This mechanism as a mitigation of record-now-decrypt-later is bogus.
