The fix should not have been reversion. The fix should have been a simple workaround that if the connection fails totally and no downgrade handshake attempt was made, make a new connection using 1.2 to start with, which would succeed and the connection opened. This would be equivalent to a downgrade handshake from 1.3 to 1.2 but without requiring all products support 1.3.
