Hi folks,

TLS 1.3 has been approved by the IESG and it's on its way to the RFC Editor, so 
I don't really see this changing any time soon for the base RFC.

I think there's some debate about whether this is a good idea, but in any case,
the right way to pursue it would be to publish a new draft, presumably with
some extension that says "I speak extended alerts".

As you mention, debugging TLS is unnecessarily painful if there's a problem,
you typically just get a handshake-failed alert which is essentially no
information at all.  Having a debug-mode capability to send back a long-form
error message would be extremely useful, maybe an extension to say "send back
a long-form alert with more than just 'BOOLEAN succeeded = FALSE' in it"
