Hello Howie,

The change to AES-256 retires the condition.  Thanks very much for getting
back to me.

Best regards,

Hi Howie,

I'm fine with the explanation (which btw is what I expected). I'm wondering
whether you could add a sentence in the yellow book, exactly reporting what
you wrote me in the previous e-mail, to avoid any confusion in whomever
might accidentally read the yellow book.

Thanks,

Tomaso
