I agree that at present there are no goals regarding timing oracle avoidance.

Any discussions about timing oracle issues would be had in a new thread and
with clear guidelines discussed in order to attain community consensus.

The particular case of memcmp is certainly the most interesting, and Florian
and I have discussed it privately. A public discussion is welcome if someone
wants to start it.

Cheers,
Carlos.
