I'm sure others already asked: "y u no sha3?" on the git dev lists. Assuming quantum computers with many qubits land, aren't prime factorization, EC and matrix math crypto basically DOA?

That's answered by one of the cryptologers. With quantum bitsizes need to double, i.e from 256 to 512. Which will be the next stage in 10-15 years. Enough time, not DOA. They just factored RSA-230, which was labelled to need 17 core years. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17825383 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17825383
