It seems that draft-mattsson-tls-psk-ke-dont-dont-dont also deprecates
some other stuff. However, it does not seem to deprecate session_ticket
(recommended=Y!).

That extension is flawed in multiple ways, and those flaws interact in
nasty ways, with end result worse than psk_ke. If psk_ke warrants being
marked as recommended=D, then session_ticket definitely also does.

If server has session tickets enabled, then STEK is master key to
decrypt all TLS 1.2 connections that advertise session_ticket.
Furthermore, unless server has explicit checks to limit total session
lifetime (which is not the same as ticket age), attacker can roll over
tickets to new STEK.
