It probably is ... but isn't that the problem? If the answer is "Just let
them stay on TLS1.2", I find it very hard to interpret the arguments
against all of this as resulting in anything other than grand-standing.
Clearly the users would be no better off, and also end up denied the other
benefits of TLS1.3.

This seems self-defeating, when there is so easy a path that may improve
things for all cases (forbid static-DH, add an opt-in mechanism instead).
