I'm not a cryptographer so disregard my opinions as you please, but I really like OpenSSH's approach. They just implement whatever the cryptographer community thinks is the best approach at the moment and disregard NIST and other authorities. For example they already have a post quantum key exchange as one of the default algorithms.

I'm not a cryptographer either and I certainly trust OpenSSH developers and actual cryptographers a lot mote than outdated government standards. As far as I'm concerned, what these people say is the standard and they're the people I look for when I want to learn something about cryptography from websites, LWN articles, mailing list discussions and other such sources. I've learned a lot reading about getrandom on LWN, plenty of knowledgeable people involved in that work.
