> even nacl suggest against it

You're defending djb's decision by pointing to another of his projects, which in turn cites another email from djb. I'm not saying you're wrong¸ but it's not exactly a reviewed position.

I meant it in another way. If he had taken DJB's advice this would not be an issue, so DJB can't be blamed for it. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

That being said, he seems to agree with this. After all he followed said advice in his tool age.
