It looks like we have rough consensus to accept this PR.  We should make
sure we note the limitations that Karthink brought up for PSK and RSA,
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tls/sZX9ursx4ePK2Zr-yflO2nUtiQY.
Procedurally, we should document the requirements for TLS 1.2 in a separate
draft to update TLS 1.2 in parallel.   This may be necessary to get us out
of the situation where we have to update and obsolete a specification at
the same time.

Thanks,

J&S
