Title: TLS 1.2 is in Feature Freeze

Abstract:
TLS 1.2 is in widespread use and can be configured such that it
provides good security properties. TLS 1.3 is also in widespread use
and fixes some known deficiencies with TLS 1.2, such as removing
error-prone cryptographic primitives and encrypting more of the
traffic so that it is not readable by outsiders.
Both versions have several extension points, so items like new
cryptographic algorithms, new supported groups (formerly "named
curves"), etc., can be added without defining a new protocol. This
document specifies that outside of urgent security fixes, no new
features will be approved for TLS 1.2. This prescription does not
pertain to DTLS (in any DTLS version); it pertains to TLS only.
