Verison -04 was release about three weeks ago and specifies the TLS 1.3 profile as well as the use of draft-rescorla-tcpinc-tls-option with tcp-eno. Since then this draft received a lot of discussion. The lasted update was provided yesterday, but only changes a few minor fixes.

If you have a personal preference for a different approach that should not be a reason to reject this adoption. Forcing the wg to make a decision has not worked previously, and even though both proposed approaches have evolved, I do not see any indication that the wg is now ready to make a decision. The goal of this adoption call is to figure out if there is enough interest and energy to further follow the approach as outlined in draft-rescorla-tcpinc-tls-option-05.
