I've been coming to the conclusion that CH reconstruction is a bad idea.
It's
tricky to get right and in the common case involves a lot of bloat in the CH
(because of duplicating the Key Shares). I think we would be better off just
removing it and replacing (rather than appending to ) KeyShares in HRR.
This was primarily intended as an attempt to avoid the need to continue
the hash in any case.

And server not supporting PSK does not help here.
