Peter knows more about long-term embedded systems that use TLS than anyone else on this list. I trust him. Don’t think of things connected to the public Internet, but rather things like client-auth missle launching systems, seismic (nuclear) monitoring equipment, and the like. Stuff that you cannot pick up anywhere retail off-the-shelf, but is rather purpose-built.
Having said that, I don’t want this draft to make his job harder; I’d rather my electric grid didn’t break :) But given that, and since he doesn’t have a specific concern in-hand right now, and that I think it is important and useful to send a clear signal to the global community, I’d still like to see the draft adopted and eventually published. It sends an active signal about new features, as opposed to a passive signal of just not accepting work. In my experience in security, active signals are better than passive ones.
