I asked about how closely QUIC would be tied to TLS 1.3 during charter
discussions, and the answer I got then was that most of what would keep
QUIC tied to TLS 1.3 was that the security people who replied weren't
expecting any replacement for TLS 1.3 anytime soon. So this was a case of
QUIC using the only handshake that made sense, not the only handshake that
could work.

So I'm agreeing with Mikkel here.
