How come the PQC algos don't show up in the ssh -Q lists

It's my understanding that at least 2-3 of the PQC algorithms (MLKEM768X25519-SHA256, SNTRUP761X25519-SHA512, ML-DSA + Ed25519) are available in OpenSSH now.

But when I run ssh -Q kex or -Q key I don't see them listed.

Should they be listed?
