I wonder whether this move shows a problem in classification of the crypto algorithms.
[Arek] - it is not particularly bad that GMAC is auth algorithm, it really depends on lib (openssl PMD internally uses conformant approach I have suggested in other mail).
But from what I currently see GMAC as AEAD is preferred way, I think this subject may be back in future.
Anyway this proposal didn't meet its audience.
Because of the lack of ack (3 required), it cannot be accepted.
