I feel like we need a richer vocabulary for the security status of given crypto algorithms/implementations. It's great to be conservative and call everything that isn't perfect "broken", but it'd be nice to have an urgency coefficient to know whether "broken" means "someone will exploit this in a few years" or "the government could attack you with a $50mm cluster" or "your machine could be exploited while you're getting coffee" or even "there's a worm in the wild right now that uses this to spread". |

But if a couple guys can break something in 75 hours, knowing crypto attacks only get better, you can already consider this broken.
