Given that I've never heard of it (and I routinely work with security-related things like OpenSSH and TLS, certs, etc.) I'll assume the impact of this finding is relatively low.

It'll stay low impact until suddenly one day having a reliable post-quantum encryption scheme becomes rather important...
