Hopefully
https://cabforum.org/pipermail/servercert-wg/2020-March/001770.html clarifies,
and highlights why the issues you believe are resolved are not.

I don't think browsers are waiting for the BRs to allow it. Browsers that
were interested in supporting such certificates could propose changes and
drive the discussion. For Chrome, we're not interested in supporting these
certificates. We're more keen to see energy focused on PQ, which at least
gives a reasonable payoff for the amount of effort needed to introduce new
algorithms.
