Hello,

> for cipher suites

Has a similar thing been discussed for TLS Extensions as well?  That
list now requires "IETF Consensus", and it doesn't even have Private and
Experimental allocations, let alone a portion with "Specification Required".

It can be difficult to get enough traction on this busy list for an
extension that is only useful in a niche (which could be said of my
draft-vanrein-tls-symmetry that gained no response at all) that is
however very interesting in such a niche.
