One of the major pain points with FIPS is how long it takes to get through the backlog to start being evaluated and validated. Lots of sitting around for a year+ twiddling fingers waiting for them to get back to you. Once they're looking at your stuff, it's a nice and fast, comprehensive and positive experience, as I understand it.
100% on board and super happy that `ring` is finally getting some love again (and funding!)<p>For context: the ring repo's been a bit inactive lately and the v0.17 release looked like it stalled out. Thankfully there's been a burst of activity in the past several weeks so I'm feeling a lot better.
