As a data point, I've had no luck so far with encouraging the email
operators of domain-registry.bg to upgrade their primary MX from TLS 1.0
to at least TLS 1.2. :-(

Indeed that's the question, but there's a spectrum of choices. One
choice is to preclude such work now. Another is to swiftly decline
non-compelling proposals as they come up.
If there is indeed a sufficient stream of new distracting proposed TLS
1.2 tweaks then perhaps closing the gate is well motivated. If the
volume of proposals is sufficiently low, there's no need to solve
non-problems. Somewhere in between it can be difficult to know which is
the right choice, but we can but do our best.
