To clarify: the RFC is about deprecating non-ephemeral cipher suites and
reusing keys in implementing the ephemeral cipher suites. I don't know of
any practical issues with the RFC as written, although I think the blanket
prohibition of reuse of ECDHE keys is maybe not really justified.

The proposal that I'm saying needs to be improved is the proposal of
deprecating the ephemeral FFDHE cipher suites at the same time. IMO that's
the part that should have deprecation of RSA cipher suites done at the same
time.

Cheers,
Brian
