Thanks for your feedback.

One other thing I could image is that truncated_hmac is mostly used in closed 
systems where one and the same implementation is used on both sides. 

@Peter: We are developing software for Smart Metering in Germany where TLS is 
used over the (wireless) Metering Bus. The corresponding specification [1] says 
about truncated_hmac: "servers shall support...".

Cheers,
Andi

In progress; the Truncated HMAC TLS extension is prohibited in implementations 
that support TLS 1.3+ as of the current draft.
