I'm not Martin, but I believe that his point is that both TLS ciphersuites and TLS supported groups/EC curves permit registration outside of the IETF process based on the existence of.a specification. As long as PQC can fit into new ciphersuites and group types, then anyone can specify it for TL

Those who can move to 1.3+, will do so, regardless of this draft. Those who can’t, would do whatever’s appropriate in their case – again, regardless of this draft. Same as for any other IETF document. :) One difference in the current wording is that it would become trivially more difficult to

My starting assumption here is that the majority of people implementing TLS and/or deciding what to authorize for deployment TLS-wise, are not stupid, and understand the benefits of the newer protocol version, including its added security. And capable of evaluating the risks of moving to TLS 1.3

I agree that IANA registrations aren't a great place to constrain this. First, constraining the registry for TLS 1.2 and not DTLS 1.2 makes a lot of things very weird. For a feature that's TLS/DTLS-agnostic, like post-quantum, it helps no one to define it for DTLS 1.2 and not TLS 1.2. Most of the

It might be better to describe TLS 1.2 as "overtaken by events". If you want to use CSS Grid or Swift UI (name any newish thing), you'll find yourself with a stack that supports TLS 1.3, so there's no need to bother with TLS 1.2 in those cases. Turning off TLS 1.2 is sometimes a good idea, because

This draft will likely be ignored, except by the Web browser crowd, Swift UI, and such ilk. One problem with this draft is that such “fanatical/extremist” documents diminish credibility of the body that sanctioned them in the eyes of those who deal with “real” equipment (again, excluding st
