    The problem with this fix is that then as long as you have the fallback, the user gains none of the security properties of TLS 1.3 (since the attacker can always force a downgrade …

    While there was a secondary issue with the deployment regarding unofficial builds/derivatives, the field trial was primarily rolled back due to the number of affected customers due…
