No, it's pretty widely recognized that WireGuard is in a sense a repudiation of "agility". You can look at, for instance, the INRIA analysis/proof paper to see how a bunch of disinterested cryptographers describe it: "many new secure channel protocols eschew standardisation in favour of a lean design that uses only modern
cryptography and supports minimal cryptographic agility." If you want to say "minimalist agility is good and you're just saying maximalist agility is bad", that's fine, we're just bickering about terms. But that's pretty obviously not what Schneier is talking about. |

Serendipitously, I just tweeted about this 11 days ago: https://twitter.com/CyphrMe/status/1556660870901403648
"The moral is the need for cryptographic agility. It’s not enough to implement a single standard; it’s vital that our systems be able to easily swap in new algorithms when required."
Do you have a link to something that in your mind represents what Schneier is talking about?
