Right, that makes sense.

It does have a normative reference to RFC 6347, and seems to be referencing
this part of it: "Implementations that speak both DTLS 1.2 and DTLS 1.0 can
interoperate with those that speak only DTLS 1.0 (using DTLS 1.0 of course)"

I can understand the WG's "MUST (but we know you won't)" situation. Trying
to write spec text for those situations always ends badly over time (imho),
but maybe editing the draft itself would be controversial.

It does look like draft-ietf-tls-oldversions-deprecate should update the
draft, if it's changed so that it updates DTLS-using RFCs. For example, if
the document had been published in 2017, would there even be a debate?

thanks,
Rob
