Compression does have issues clearly, but it's not correct to describe
people wanting TLS to compress as lazy. They're rather looking for the
same features that TLS has offered for a couple of decades. So if there
were a way to help them, that'd be good. And if not, the onus I think
is on us in this WG to clearly explain why we're removing that feature
in TLS1.3.

That doesn't have to be text in the TLS1.3 specification but I would
guess the question may keep coming up, so documenting the answer in
some archival form (such as an RFC:-) might be a good plan.
