Maybe it took 2 years for the bureaucracy to decide that Bitcoin was ok for them to comment on or publish about. That could be a good sign. Or it's part of a new ramping up of disinformation against Bitcoin.
NIST is about as close as you can get to a "friendly government" in the US. Their findings are of course in the public domain, but also - unlike many other agencies - in most cases directly applicable to real life.
Unless new information emerges soon, I'd call this a good sign, even if it's slow and confusing in some ways.
