Note that there is some prior art -- for example, we moved the truncated_hmac extension to Recommended=D with an IESG action (unfortunately, the link used as a reference in the registry no longer points to something useful). That said, if we can readily get a standards-action that would make me happier about having the 'Y' here (but I can tolerate just using IESG Approval if needed). -Ben _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
