> broken middleboxes
I think this notion that you need to work around them, and accommodate, rather than to ignore them, and do things right needs to be thrown out.
All those middleboxes are non-essential, and not are not inherent part of the original design.
I especially don't understand google engineers who decided on TLS 1.3 version hack when the very same situation has repeated itself with 1.3, and many new TLS extensions.
The logic fail for example with IPv6, a giant amount of IPv6 software/hardware is plainly unusable, but this is not a reason to try to hack around it, by trying reimplementing IPv6 in v4.
