Python debates PEP 842 module exports and public API boundaries
A proposed __export__ list would warn on access to non-public names, but reviewers want clearer ergonomics, internal-use rules, and stronger signals than warnings alone.

By renderThe IESG should reject solo ML-KEM for TLS and keep the hybrid safety net
An IETF-wide last call asks the steering group to publish pure ML-KEM key agreement for TLS 1.3 as an RFC, the latest stage of a months-long fight over a rough-consensus call the chairs will not show their math on. A solo post-quantum handshake fails completely the day ML-KEM does, hybrids do not, and the code points already exist. The IESG should reject it. Comments close 13 August.
