I'm definitely for 1.3. I get where 4 is coming from, but 1.2 is not going anywhere soon, and we spent the last 10 years training people that the high-numbered one is bad, and that the 1.x ones are cool.
I really don't want to have the following conversation, with the exact same people the proponents of 4 are trying to help: "You only support 1.2, you should support 4" "Oh, wasn't it that weird other way around where the high one was broken?" "Ah, no, 4 is the latest and greatest" "Oh, ok, then I should support only 4 and 3?" "Nono, 3 is terribly broken." "Oh, so only 4? Do all clients support it?" "Uh, you should keep 1.2" "Ah, so 1.2 is better than 3 but worse than 4?" "Yeah... I'm sorry" "4 is great, 3 is bad, 1.2 is good" is harder than "3 is bad, 1.2 is good" was, and harder than "3 is bad, 1.2 is good, 1.3 is great" would be. _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
