I disagree with the consensus for reasons I have laid out in [1] and [2].

TL;DR:
I agree that a standardized debugging interface for TLS is useful.
However, even with the addition of -04, the way we distribute software -- as 
binaries -- even to developers dictates that many will (and do) see these 
features in user-facing production software.
To prevent misuse against unsuspecting targets (in lawful interception, abusive 
relationships, etc.), the security considerations should *strongly* suggest 
that active debugging be made visible to the user.
