I think either of "do nothing and act like you are ESNI-unaware" or "add
some padding to EncryptedExtensions so you have room to be ESNI-configured"
is reasonable. Though, yeah, the draft should talk about this a bit. I
think the GREASE stuff turned out to have a lot more details to work out
than my original attempt anticipated. :-)

Apologies. I filed that during the meeting mostly so I wouldn't forget and
so Chris would have something to link to in his slides. The intent was to
write up an actual PR later which would certainly be sent to the list for
discussion.
