Looking at PR #468:
- It isn't at all obvious how to use it for stateless rejection.
- It is even less obvious how to recover (not causing non-retryable
  fault) from bad cookie (e.g. expired) remembered from previous
  connection.

There are some tricks for both, but with latter, the 255-byte
cookie space can become quite cramped...


I think it would be easier if either:
- Cookies could not be remembered across connections.
- HRR and EE cookies had separate slots those go to in CH.

(Of course, neither of those solves the "failed 0-RTT" case...)


Also, some clients do burst connects, where multiple TLS
connections are connected in parallel. Through quite frequently
these would be pure-PSK, keyed off one master GDHE-CERT
connection.
