Re: [TLS] Reminders

I agree with Watson's assessment here. This seems like the wrong design
choice.

I'm not familiar with OpenSSL's cert selection, but I don't believe that
the issue
that this change is intended to address applies to NSS, for two reasons:

1. NSS does cert selection during client hello processing [0].
http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/security/nss/lib/ssl/ssl3con.c#9569

2. Unless I misunderstand the design of cached-info, all the server needs
to have is the digest of the serialized chain and it could store that at
the time
that it configures the cert (or first uses it). This seems like quite a
small burden.

I believe the prior design was superior.
