Well, admittedly neither user_mapping, nor cert_type is hugely popular. 
It would not make sense for the TLS 1.3 spec to be on hold until these 
extensions are reconciled with it.

However, I do think that a TLS 1.3 ClientHello should be able to advertise 
extensions that are not defined for TLS 1.3, when the client is willing to 
accept TLS<=1.2.

Cheers,

Andrei

Oh, sorry, quoting context fail: I meant that nobody uses cert_type, not that 
nobody uses user_mapping.
