That's not what happened. He said quote "which would allow RPs to block you, and something that I have previously rallied against".

This is something that has been proposed that Tim fought against but mentioned in the thread to provide context of the types of kneejerk reactions the spec authors have had to push back against.

Let's be truthful and show the remainder of that parenthetical:

> (which would allow RPs to block you, and something that I have previously rallied against but rethinking as of late because of these situations)

I read "these situations" to mean "non-spec-compliant providers", where "spec-compliant" means to prevent plaintext export of resident keys.
