Of course I have.   I think that putting a warning in the TLS 1.3 spec as 
Christian suggested will mean that the code won't appear in places where there 
isn't a strong use case for it.   It may well appear in places where there is a 
strong use case, but anything open source is going to face a stiff headwind in 
terms of implementing this, and that's what I'm suggesting we encourage.   If 
it doesn't show up in openssl, gnutls or boringssl, it's a much smaller 
problem.   We can't actually stop it happening—I'm just arguing for not making 
it convenient.
