I'll make my reply to your previous email brief and simple. Replying with quoting would not be productive.

My stance is not particularly complex. I want the best interop that's possible without compromising security in any meaningful way.

Continued acceptance of 16 year old security protocol:  Bad
Different ordering of certificates on the wire:  I don't care
Ignoring the predictability of future vulnerabilities in known-obsolete stuff:  Bad
Writing down what's needed to actually be secure in the new security spec:  Good
