Line 10:
Axolotl describes the double ratchet construction, not the full protocol. It's possible OWS used it internally that way, but nobody else did because their public documents only talked about the double ratchet part.
 
Also, there is not even a public statement by Trevor or anyone at OWS that they prefer the term Axolotl ratchet be replaced by double ratchet. In particular, the github reference should be removed because that repository has no public content https://github.com/trevp/double_ratchet

Finally there are actually numerous double ratchet constructions possible, depending upon your particular goals, so it's an extremely poor choice in names, and it's very unlikely the cryptographic community will use it. <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/78.250.123.11|78.250.123.11]] ([[User talk:78.250.123.11|talk]]) 07:56, 9 April 2016 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
