This has been discussed extensively, here and elsewhere.  See for
instance, http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg10423.html
or https://www.imperialviolet.org/2013/10/07/f5update.html or
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=315828 .

I expect that the draft authors are being sensitive to the fact there
is no need to create a more public, permanent record of what is a
transient problem.
