Cheers for the triage @dueno and @tomato42 🙏

And nice fix on the timing channel in #1050. (Alicja, I'd filed this before we spoke and hadn't seen 1050 at the time, overlap's on me.)

Agree that it can be used safety. If an attacker has access to the behavioral (Ok/Err) oracle, against a 4096-bit key it takes ~40k decrypt queries to recover a plaintext and ~110k to forge a signature.

Enhancement + removal sounds good to me.
