Regardless of the Raccoon attack, the static DH and ECDH ciphersuites do
not provide forward secrecy, which is a main reason cited for deprecating
RSA in draft-aviram-tls-deprecate-obsolete-kex.  Do you object to just the
citation of the Raccoon attack or do you also feel that we should keep
these ciphersuites that do not provide forward secrecy around?

Cheers,

Joe
