The discussion is about a possible reinvention of HKDF without a clear understanding of its purpose. The speaker suggests reading the paper on HKDF, which justifies each design decision and highlights slight differences from other constructions proposed in the thread. HKDF instead of a single HMAC_SHA512 seems like a reasonable consideration. The speaker will evaluate the implications of using HKDF over HMAC_SHA512 and update the BIP if there are no concerns.
