Thanks, Chris.

At a high level, I think we should be focusing our efforts on TLS 1.3.
That means that we should design new features for 1.3 and not for 1.2,
but if it's straightforward to also specify them for 1.2, this is
potentially worthy of consideration on a case-by-case basis.

We generally should not be doing TLS 1.2-only work (including cases
where we have to do a significantly different version or something for
TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) except in cases where there is some significant
defect of some kind. I think this is consistent with "maintenance".
