the reason TLS1.3 has been delayed so long is vendors and researchers that believe the dual-speek that TLS needs to be both secure, as well as readily interceptable (and therefore insecure) in order for it to be "ready" to use.
TLS and encryption arent going anywhere and theyre not always going to wait around for a concensus from industry. The sobering truth is that if not now, than in a decade or so the companies shilling TLS/SSL interception appliances and software will need to shift focus as the protocol will likely have been evolved by force over time to meet the needs of increasingly prevalent surveillance states. TLS interception or "proxying" started out as a graduate students parlour trick and eventually evolved into an entire shady industry where players like Bluecoat are routinely caught selling their products and services to repressive regimes.
Heres hoping LibreSSL delivers the goods with or without the marketing teams say.
