I think it's time that people start reading code before they make pronouncements. That said, one of the most important concepts behind decentralization is that no one gets to decide what something is called. NIST just made a decree. Let me make one. I'll call Bitcoin Cash ByteCoin, because its 8 MB blocks can hold a byte for every bit in bitcoin. Will anyone join me? No? Well that's how consensus works.
Nobody is in control and certainly not NIST.
