If they waited until there was a credible threat to SHA-2, then that's waiting too long

This is why they have announced an open competition to replace SHA-2 with SHA-3 after 2012...

I have a very simple question. If they don't want to wait anymore, what are you waiting for?

Where there, jackjack?

The guy that was arguing with me basically said NIST announced this competition just in case... What I'm asking is 'If they don't want to wait anymore and are acting now just in case, what are you waiting for and don't act just in case as well?'

How are you prepared for a possible change in SHA?
