    I see what you mean; https://github.com/samuel-lucas6/ChaCha20-BLAKE2b would be considered borderline rolling your own. Especially when compared to https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/commit/2194f6962c8bb3bca8a55f313d5b9302596b593b as one solution or mitigation to the attack, and considering that it does not seem to a big problem for key based encryption (judging by the comments in that commit).
