Request for feedback from server/client implementers using non-OpenSSL TLS stacks

Greetings Solderpunk,
I know there is a small but fairly active group of people who are using gemini
from the comfort of plan9/9front, myself included. 9front has it's own
TLS stack instead of relying on POSIX-y implementations, and at the time of
writing 9front's implementation only supports up to TLS 1.2.
Getting 1.3 implemented is on a list of things to do, but no real
work has started on it from what I could tell. While I understand
it doesn't make much sense to hold back for the sake of an otherwise
small fringe group, I wanted to point out a hard requirement on TLS 1.3
would (perhaps momentarily) prevent the use of gemini on 9front should
these requirement get set and strictly enforced.
Thank you,
moody
