From the authors: "NIST's current proposal for SHA-3 is a subset of the Keccak family", "one can generate the test vectors for that proposal using the Kecca kreference code." and this "shows that the [SHA-3] cannot contain internal changes to the algorithm."

The process of setting the parameters is an important step in standardization. NIST has done this and the authors state that this has not crippled the algorithm. 

I bet this revelation does not make it to Slashdot… 

Can we put this to bed now?
