WTF?

Article from Yngve:
http://my.opera.com/yngve/blog/2010/06/02/renego-patched-servers-a-long-term-interoperability-time-bomb-brewing

http://www.links.org/?p=943

I haven't finished reading the full article yet, but I thought others
would be interested:
> In the past few weeks, as many as 80-90% of the newly patched servers
> have refused to negotiate with our tester (the TLS Prober) when it
> claimed to support the hypothetical v4.1 TLS protocol version (or, as
> I call it, "TLS NG"). This is much higher than the 69% of all servers
> that generally exhibit the same problem.
