Post-quantum defaults

As many people on this list know, I have for a very long time been a 
skeptic on the subject of quantum computing advances. I won't go into 
details, but the bottom line is there are three pillars on which I have 
set my projections and this week it looks as if two of them are 
beginning to crack.

It is probably wise to begin deploying post-quantum cryptography. Are 
there any plans in GnuPG to make post-quantum algorithms the default for 
new certificates?
