Hey Jonas,

I've been busy over the holidays but just got around to reading your 
delving post on SHRINCS. Big +1 from me, perhaps not in the exact form you 
propose - i suspect a more modular approach would make standardization 
easier - But in principle  this would be awesome to have as an option. It 
has pitfalls, but until more size-efficient stateless schemes like SQIsign 
mature, stateful HBS schemes are the smallest signatures available. Full 
thoughts on delving here

regards,
conduition
