Something that demands a forklift upgrade of both/all sides at the
same time tends not to be deployed, ever (look at the history of
NAT/firewall traversal technologies in the IETF, as one example).

I'm basically in agreement with Stephen and Uri here but now that
I'm working for a company that's providing services I'm becoming
more aware of the real need for network monitoring.  It does need
to be discussed somewhere but I don't think that that discussion
needs to take place in the TLS working group in the context of this
one particular proposal.  There's more than one way to solve this
problem and while the fact that these folks want to keep solving
it basically the same way that they have in the past is interesting
but perhaps not as compelling as it could be.

It might make sense to kick it over to ops for a discussion with
people whose meat and potatoes is monitoring, management, and
measurement.  It needn't necessarily stay there but I think that
there are a bunch of options that need to be sorted through.  I
can't really see the static Diffie-Hellman proposal going anywhere
quickly, anyway, to be honest, so might as well use that time to
develop a fuller understanding of the potential solutions to the
problem.
