Re: Last Call: draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation (Transport Layer Security (TLS) Renegotiation Indication Extension) to Proposed Standard

* Chris Newman:

This the most time-sensitive and security-critical IETF draft with
respect to impact on the Internet community that I have seen in 17
years of IETF participation.

Standard vendor response is to disable broken protocol features.  This
has been done countless times for core protocols, and I guess it would
work here, too.  Fixing the protocol is desirable, but there's still a
backup plan.  Let's not pretend otherwise. 8-)
