Maybe the text could be updated to have one section of text for the web and
one for everything else, since they're totally, totally different
environments.  I was at a meeting last week to discuss upgrade mechanisms for
some globally deployed infrastructure and they were looking at a 2-3 year time
window to start the upgrade process, with completion by 2030 at the latest.

That's not a typo for 2020, it's 2030.

So the text needs to acknowledge the two different operating environments, the
web where you can replace anything you want at a drop of a hat, and the rest
of the world where it takes serious effort to make the change.  Moving from
TLS 1.0 to TLS 1.2 with EMS/EtM/LTS within ten years, for the non-web world,
is a practical goal.  Moving to an entirely new protocol in that time frame
(TLS 1.3) probably isn't going to happen.
