Where does that leave ciphersuites that are "Recommended" for TLS
1.2, but TLS 1.3?  Or do none of the CBC block ciphers in TLS 1.2 qualify?

Suites like (please pardon the OpenSSL-specific naming):

    ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384 TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH  Au=ECDSA Enc=AES(256)  Mac=SHA384
    ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384   TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH  Au=RSA   Enc=AES(256)  Mac=SHA384
    DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256     TLSv1.2 Kx=DH    Au=RSA   Enc=AES(256)  Mac=SHA256

    ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH Au=ECDSA Enc=AES(128)  Mac=SHA256
    ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256   TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH Au=RSA   Enc=AES(128)  Mac=SHA256
    DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256     TLSv1.2 Kx=DH   Au=RSA   Enc=AES(128)  Mac=SHA256

I'd have thought these would still qualify as recommended (for TLS
1.2).  And then "not recommended" would cover more exotic/obsolete
codepoints.
