It's 2026. If you're deploying a cryptosystem and not considering post-quantum in your analysis, you'd best have a damn good reason.

ECC signs might be small, but the world will be moving to ML-DSA-44 in the near future. That needs to be in your calculus.

True, but DNSSEC doesn't need to worry about forward secrecy and it doesn't need quantum protection until someone can start breaking keys in under a year. Hopefully we will find more efficient PQC by then.
