Greetings Solderpunk,

I know there is a small but fairly active group of people who are using geminifrom the comfort of plan9/9front, myself included. 9front has it's ownTLS stack instead of relying on POSIX-y implementations, and at the time ofwriting 9front's implementation only supports up to TLS 1.2.

Getting 1.3 implemented is on a list of things to do, but no realwork has started on it from what I could tell. While I understandit doesn't make much sense to hold back for the sake of an otherwisesmall fringe group, I wanted to point out a hard requirement on TLS 1.3would (perhaps momentarily) prevent the use of gemini on 9front shouldthese requirement get set and strictly enforced.

Thank you,moody
