What is the rationale to implement all sha3 variants?

I agree, I'd like to see a really good rationale.

I understand some protocols need lower grade versions for performance reasons 
but that seems to matter a lot less for openpgp usage. Why not just implement 
sha3-512?

One would be good.  Suits me to go for the longest one.

How about this:



      ID           Algorithm                             Text Name
      --           ---------                             ---------

snip

      12         - RESERVED
      13         - RESERVED
      14         - RESERVED
      15         - SHA3-512 [FIPS202]                    "SHA3-512"



And while we're at it, can we add DEPRECATED to all the rest except SHA(2)512 ?

ps;  And that 100-110 monstrosity - sheesh!  ;-)
