The point of this draft was to go on the record (“it’s an RFC it must be true”) and say explicitly what the IETF will NOT be doing, and enforcing that by directing IANA (and the experts). Will this stop someone from re-using codepoints and backporting to their TLS 1.2 stack? Nope. It even work since TLS 1.3 handshake looks like TLS 1.2 :)
We can’t prevent people from coloring outside the lines, but we can make it clear where the lines are. And I don’t see how we can do anything else, since the WG clearly has near-zero interest in saying “use this for TLS 1.2” I believe that not all the reasons for that are strictly technical, but I don’t care.
