I don’t really expect it to (and the known situation is bad enough already that I don’t expect much would change even if it did).
But I do hope it’ll shed some light on the entanglement (pun not intended) between the NSA and whatever process drives NIST’s crypto publications. There obviously has to be some, given the former is the US government crypto expert and the other is the issuer of public documents on US government crypto. But as a data point for NIST’s credibility, it’d be nice to know how screwed up it is there. Maybe I won’t learn anything about that here either? Dunno.
