Just to be clear: are you suggesting that we replace text suggested by Magnus:

    TLS MUST be version 1.2 or later.  It is RECOMMENDED to use only
    cypher suites that offer Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) and avoid
    Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), for example,
    TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,
    TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
    TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,
    TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
    TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,
    TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 [RFC5288] [RFC5289].

With this:

    TLS MUST be version 1.2 or later.  It is RECOMMENDED follow
    [BCP195].


Note that BCP 195 does not address CBC (but does 
discuss PFS).  I just want to be clear before 
making the change, so please confirm that this 
works.
