Actually, we can use TLS 1.3, just not with peers that only do RC4.
Provided the 1.3 servers don't do anything actively hostile and
terminate the handshake when they see RC4-SHA1 offered among other
more acceptable ciphersuites.

I was definitely not arguing for inclusion of RC4 in TLS 1.3.  I
am more than happy with AEAD-only in TLS 1.3, with no RC4.

When an opportunistic TLS client that supports TLS 1.0--1.3, and
includes RC4 in its list of ciphersuites, connects to a 1.3 server
RC4 will not be the negotiated ciphersuite when the server decides
to use 1.3.

I was just noting for the record, that even with opportunistic TLS
we've already made some progress in getting rid of "old crap", but
not yet all.
