NIST has stated that the maximum endorsement will be to use AES for non-classified government information. So the question will remain of what is better than AES, or to put it another way, what is not good enough about AES for its use on classified information.
A more likely explanation of the NSA withholding endorsement of AES for use
with classified traffic is that doing so would dejustify the continued
existence of the code-making groups at NSA.
