Let's stop forking the hashing algorithm after RandomX (which will fail to achieve the stated goal, like every other attempt) and embrace specialized mining. Enough time has been lost.

That's the intent, i.e., the current 'contingency' plan is to switch to an ASIC friendly algorithm (such as SHA3) in case of a RandomX failure.

Has the SHA3 algorithm been developed and is it ready for deployment?

If not, then its not a contingency plan.

Yeah, its been around awhile.
